Eric Mingus is an acclaimed composer, performer, recording artist and poet, who has performed with Carla Bley, Hubert Sumlin, Elliott Sharp, Todd Rundgren, Elvis Costello, Gavin Friday, Nick Cave, Karen Mantler, Steven Bernstein, Catherine Sikora, Levon Helm and many more, including being a featured performer in many of Hal Willner’s projects. Eric’s compositions range from blues and rock songs to haunting instrumental melodies and jazz inspired arrangements, and this extraordinarily broad range of styles is always clearly defined by his unique aesthetic sensibility. He has written scores for three documentaries, and has composed almost all of the music for his albums and contributed songs to many more projects. Eric is currently writing music for his next solo album, and for the next Clockwork Mercury album.
