Coming to the REAR WINDOW for the first time, we proudly, welcome the ERIC GERBER THREE! FolkJam music from the heart of the Texas Hill Country The Eric Gerber Three plays original music as well as music by songwriters who might not be so well recognized (Greg Brown, Jonathan Byrd, Jack Williams, Steven Barkhimer, Carl Cacho-Negrete, Neale Eckstein, etc.), as well as covers of The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Guy Clark, Peter Rowan, and more. We play intelligent singer-songwriter music with an improvisational spirit where you never know how we'll play it next time! That's why we call it FolkJam!

Eric Gerber Three review by James Killen of Houston Music review:
Eric Gerber Three– Eric only wrote four of the twelve compositions on this disc, but the country blues instrumentals put together by Gerber and his collaborating musicians are worth a solid listen. Gerber picks on Greg Brown for four of his covers, delivering a fantastic version of “If I had Known” and an eerie, cello driven “Think About You.” Gerber’s “When Push Comes to Shove” and “Don’t Ask Me How” deliver that feel good, sitting on the porch, laid back mood. “What’s in Your Bag”, derived from Eric’s life as a teacher, is worth the price of the disc on its own. Gerber recounts the lives of different children that each has his own set of issues and how each deserves to be treated with love and sympathy. “Three” features some great performances on dobro, accordion, cello, guitar, and percussion for a mellow collaboration to sooth the savage beast.
