From Gary Allen
Eric Bair travels between two Ohio cities to work with his band New Machines but it paid off when his tune, Shielded appeared
on the PBS series, Roadtrip Nation. This followed an earlier episode in 2007, when their single Metropolis was used on a
soundtrack CD for PBS along with other Canadian independent rockers. Eric reminds me instrumenatally of my boss JJ Cale,
who doesn’t really care if the lyrics come around or more guitar riffing.
Mackenzie’s Song, an Eric Bair solo track, was a top runnerup in my Summer Sonicbids 2010 competition. With his latest
material he shuffles effortlessly between instrumentals like Shielded, and a unique sophisticated style that has all the
trademarks of Bair as a writer: big choruses, strong melodies and surprising twists and turns. I can appreciate that Eric
touches all the bases with pop, jazz, punk and rock. He plays the kind of music that makes a family out of a crowd.
Eric’s love songs are beautifully crafted and creatively constructed. His lyrics are a fascinating look at the nature of love and
relationships. None of the tracks are vanilla and syrupy. The guitar work is edgy, even quirky but done with flair that defies
expectation. New Machines is a force to be reckoned with and so is Eric Bair as a solo artist. At least you have a job to fall
back on. My parents would be proud of you, and so are we at Tennessee Concerts and The Music City Beat. Enjoy the
success and the roadwork. Like Tom Bodett at Motel 6, I left the light on for you :)
