Eric Jerardi's NEW ALBUM "OCCUPIED" REVIEWED

Well, we are in the first stage of a long record promotion.  Getting our first reactions back.  Here is the first official review on the album:

Midwest Record Entertainment

Chicago, Illinois - 02/16/19 

ERIC JERARDI/Occupied: Just because it was Holy Modal Rounders who said good taste is timeless doesn't mean it's not so. Don't you just hate the haters that proclaim something out of date? From the opening horn riff, this set is unmistakably Muscle Shoals and how can that ever be out of date? Taking blue eyed soul to the max, Jerardi blows the roof off the sucker with the help of the classic Swampers that are still up for it and those who have drunk the local waters and became imbued with the natch. If someone could slip a copy of this to Van Morrison, Caledonia soul would be back on top of his menu. Killer stuff throughout. – Chris Spector

"DO RIGHT BY HIM" MUSIC VIDEO

"I could not be more proud or excited about the release of this video.  It really is a small film, the way they used to make videos.  It's so much easier to do a faux live performance or an in-the-studio video, but this has a story line and is visually stunning.  Working with director Allen Farst over the past 25 years and watching him grow as a film maker is pretty cool to say the least.  I'm certain he feels the same for me, or he wouldn't be all in on this project.  Enjoy!"

ERIC JERARDI, OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR FOR CLARENDELLE, INSPIRED BY HAUT-BRION

"How cool is this, the world's greatest Bordeaux producer, Chateau Haut-Brion and everything that comes with it has decided to jump on board to support the release of my new record "Occupied".  The wines of Clarendelle, inspired by Haut-Brion are extraordinary;  I couldn't be happier.  Please don't expect me to buy you a glass of Haut Brion or La Mission Haut Brion (100 Pt wines in 2015), but Clarendelle white, rose, or red.... perhaps if you catch me on the right evening.  See you on the road."  E

ERIC JERARDI, NOW AN OFFICIAL BRAND AMBASSADOR FOR STELLA ARTOIS

Stella Artois is one of the oldest brands in the world, first appearing in 1336. Today, Stella Artois is the best selling beer imported from Belgium and one of the fastest-growing beers sold in the United States. 

“I’m very proud to represent Stella Artois on tour and very excited about all of the possibilities going forward this year with my new album “Occupied”coming out. While I certainly hope to have the opportunity to sit down and buy everyone a “Stella” in the near future, I didn’t want to miss the chance to share this news.  I look forward to seeing everyone at a show this year!”

ABOUT Stella Artois

• Barrels shipped in 2018: 2.7 million

Stella Artois is one of the oldest beers available in America, as its roots stretch back about three centuries to Leuven, Belgium.

ERIC JERARDI'S NEW ALBULM "OCCUPIED"

There is no doubt that “Occupied,” Eric Jerardi’s eighth national release is a tour de force. Recorded in Sheffield, Alabama with the legendary Muscle Shoals rhythm section [Aretha Franklin, Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Glenn Frey, Bob Dylan, and more], Eric has created a musical masterpiece combining heartfelt performances with the soul of the Muscle Shoals horns, backing vocals, and the world’s greatest rhythm section. With a solid reputation as an exceptional guitar player, executive producer Allen Farst (Niche) and Legendary producer/engineer David Z [Prince, Fine Young Cannibals, Johnny Lang, Etta James] were instrumental in encouraging Eric as a gifted songwriter and more importantly as a vocalist and the results are undeniable. “Occupied” has officially put all others on notice that Eric Jerardi has come into his own.
