Eric Madis Trio

The Eric Madis Trio is a classic swing trio in a similar format to the trios of Nat King Cole, Charles Brown, and Oscar Peterson. With guitar, piano and upright bass, this group really swings and rocks without being too loud. With a very sensible blend of jazz swing standards and jump blues, this band is ideal for wedding receptions and parties with a more intimate setting.

Eric Madis began performing as a guitarist/vocalist during the early 1960's, and in the past 35 years of experience he has accrued a variety of accomplishments. Besides having performed prolifically as a solo act and in groups (based in Chicago, Denver, Dallas & Seattle), he has also worked with a number of renowned blues artists, including Big Walter Horton, Sunnyland Slim, Gary B.B. Coleman, and Deacon Jones. His latest CD, "Traveling Light," has been receiving enthusiatic reviews since its July 1997 release.

"A very accomplished guitarist, his playing seems to cut effortlessly across the genres...some smooth, pleasant music that will reach out and dazzle you with virtuosity."
- Mark Dalton/Caldonia's NW Blues Pages
