Electric resonator guitarist Eric Sardinas comes from the loud and proud school of blues boogie: Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, and Elmore James by way of rock & roll. His playing is aggressive; his lead work done exclusively with a slide on a custom-built electric metal-resonator dobro guitar. Sardinas records infrequently but tours almost constantly. His debut, Treat Me Right, drew favorable yet lazy comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan. 2001's Devil's Train fared better critically. 2003's Black Pearls showcased the funky side of blues-rock. Following a five-year break, he reemerged with Eric Sardinas & Big Motor in 2008, that showcased more mature songwriting and a grittier R&B-based sound. He released Sticks & Stones in 2011 and the European-only Boomerang in 2015. After a nine-year recording break, Sardinas returned with Midnight Junction, showcasing his road-tested band.
