Bio
Blues guitar phenom Eric Gales was born and raised in Memphis, learning to play at age four from older brothers Eugene and Manuel in imitation of their upside-down, left-handed style (a tradition actually passed down from their grandfather, Dempsey Garrett Sr., who was known to jam with the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf).

In the world of blues guitar, there aren't many players like Eric Gales. The 49-year-old Memphis native is widely regarded as one of the best blues guitarists in the world.
If stardom was based on rave reviews from his contemporaries rather than record sales, Eric Gales would no doubt be a stratospheric megastar. Guitar god Joe Bonamassa knows a thing or two about guitars and celebrityhood, he calls Gales “one of the best, if not THE best guitar player in the world”.
