Blues/funk guitarist Craig Erickson erudite to play while working in his father's phonograph recording store in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He formed his first-class honours degree band at 13, and began playing around the area. Erickson signed a contract with Blues Bureau Intl. in the early '90s, releasing Roadhouse Stomp! in 1992 and Retro Blues Express the following year. Though the albums featured John Onder on basso and Atma Anur on drums, Erickson's regular band -- with which he has supported blues legends such as Koko Taylor, Little Ed & the Blues Imperials, Elvin Bishop and Lonnie Brooks -- includes bassist Al Robinson and drummer Kerri Collings. Erickson recorded 2 Sides of the Blues for a 1995 release, and followed up with Force Majeure one year by and by. He appeared on tribute albums to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King (Hats Off to Stevie Ray, Fit for a King), and besides co-wrote and played on Blues, the solo record album by Glenn Hughes (Thick Purple, Trapeze).
