Eric Brendo has been an impressive force in the music world since his early days in his native Detroit. A songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Brendo started his journey with veteran soul singer/bluesman/pianist Robert Bradley, whose close friendship with Kid Rock prompted collaborations between the two, yielding "I Got One For Ya" on Devil Without A Cause, among other things.

Brendo was assimilated into Bradley's notable Blackwater Surprise along with brothers Michael and Andrew Nehra. Soon after, he began writing songs with the Nehras, resulting in sessions at Detroit's world-famous White Room Studios, along with legendary Motown composer/arranger Paul Riser (Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie, Wallflowers, Tori Amos).

Previously, Eric spearheaded another project, Downtown and moved to NYC. The union's uniquely-crafted sound inspired noteworthy producers Flood, Alan Moulder and Toni Halliday. A sophisticated and exceptional self-titled album was born out of the London sessions, released to rave reviews in 2004.

Brendo now steps out on his own with Over The Dunes And Into The Cave.

Eric traverses a handful of styles with elegance, ease and heartfelt commitment, evident on spotlight tracks like "Ashes" and "Hazy Love." He skims through the same vast sea as contemporaries Richard Hawley, Spiritualized and Richard Ashcroft and channeling, at once, the likes of Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, Scott Walker and Ian McCulloch. Over The Dunes And Into The Cave is a rare treat for folks who still look for craft in their songs. A limited-edition 7" single will be available on August 24th.
