Happy winter magic time, everyone. Welcome to this special bonus episode of Hearsay Poetry with the podcast’s music creator, Eric Bettencourt. Eric is an Austin-based singer-songwriter via Portland, Maine. Take some twisty turns with us as we discuss songwriting in relation to poetry, songwriting and songwriters in general, our feelings about Slam Poetry, a new segment called “What Eric Hates”, the dynamic political realm we live in, and much more—all peppered with a few generic interview questions to keep it real. Listen, comment, SHARE AND RATE. After all, sharing is caring, especially at this time of year. Thanks all.

Eric Bettencourt is an Austin-based singer songwriter originally from Portland, Maine. To date he has released four LPs of original music and one EP of creatively expressed cover tunes. His next album, tentatively and sarcastically titled Bric-a-Brac, is slated to drop in the Spring of 2019. You can find his music and upcoming shows at Eric Bettencourt Music on Facebook.
