For nearly two decades Eric Krasno has been an omnipresent figure in popular music. Weve heard
his virtuosic innovative guitar playing with Soulive and Lettuce (both of which he co-founded)
seen him onstage supporting the likes of the Rolling Stones Dave Matthews Band John Mayer and
The Roots watched him take home multiple GRAMMY Awards and benefited from his deft
behind-the-scenes work as a producer and songwriter for everyone from Norah Jones Tedeschi
Trucks and 50 Cent to Talib Kweli Aaron Neville and Allen Stone.In 2020 Eric already
planned to venture into podcasting. The pandemic accelerated this process resulting in the
extremely well-received Eric Krasno Plus One podcast. Eric is the host of this interview-style
series that brings listeners backstage and deep into the lives of incredible musicians ranging
from Dave Matthews Derek Trucks and Branford Marsalis to Questlove Ziggy Marley John Mayer
and Robert Randolph.Erics new solo album Always his first on Provogue an imprint of Mascot
Label Group sees him venture into an elaborate mix of blues funk rock and soul a sunny
funky and laid back album combining the vibe of 1970s Laurel Canyon swaths of Hammond B3 organ
a rhythm section that appear to be joined at the hip and of course that punchy Eric Krasno
guitar sound. It evokes the spirit of Sly Stone DAngelo Lenny Kravitz and dare we say his
name Prince? Always also alludes to the album cover showing Erics wife then pregnant with
their now born son. This album is dedicated to them.
