If you guys want to see more of Eric Brewer, He is in a band called Ron Yarosz and the Vehicle. Search them on youtube. I saw them at the 18 annual Erie blues and jazz Fest (My uncle is best friends with Ron Yarosz) and I got to go and meet Ron and Eric for a second time (first was at Hartwood Acres) Eric is a real nice guy.
