Bio
Blues guitar phenom Eric Gales was born and raised in Memphis, learning to play at age four from older brothers Eugene and Manuel in imitation of their upside-down, left-handed style (a tradition actually passed down from their grandfather, Dempsey Garrett Sr., who was known to jam with the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf).

If stardom was based on rave reviews from his contemporaries rather than record sales, Eric Gales would no doubt be a stratospheric megastar. Guitar god Joe Bonamassa knows a thing or two about guitars and celebrityhood, he calls Gales “one of the best, if not THE best guitar player in the world”.
