Join the Solar Federation! EP 144 Eric Wirsing
Super excited to announce new guest, Eric Wirsing, to The Story!
Eric began his musical journey with piano at the age of five. Shortly after beginning piano, he also studied violin and drums. But at the age of 12 when Eric received his first electric guitar, he realized his true passion and path in his musical life and has not put it down since. In the 30+ years since striking those first notes, he has been deeply involved in music.
Eric’s obsession for the guitar led him to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in 1999. After leaving Berklee with his future wife Julie Schreiber, they moved to Harrisburg, PA where Eric performed in the Julie Schreiber Band; sharing the stage with such acts as, Halestorm, Lowen & Navarro, the Badlees and many more. While in Central PA, Eric taught guitar and bass professionally for 20+ years.
Eric advanced his own study of guitar through instruction from bebop/jazz guitar legend Pat Martino, as well as world renowned fusion guitarist Greg Howe. In 2008, Howe hired Eric to transcribe and design the official guitar tab book for his most well-known album, Introspection.
After teaching professionally for a few years, in 2011, Eric opened the doors to The Perfect 5th Musical Arts Center in Mechanicsburg where he was dedicated to bringing the best quality music education to the region. Eric kicked off the grand opening of The Perfect 5th by arranging a master class featuring world renowned, Grammy Award winning guitar icon Steve Vai.
In 2015, Eric co-founded Central PA based, award winning, RUSH tribute band Solar Federation, considered one of the premier female-fronted RUSH tribute bands in the world. Solar Federation continues to perform today!
Currently, Eric is also studying with Berklee professor Bruce Bartlett to advance his understanding of Jazz guitar.
