Releasing Boomerang 3 years after the release of their last album Sticks & Stones, Eric Sardinas and Big Motor are presenting their debut to the Freiburger Jazzhaus-Label.

That is one reason, why I have waited with my original release-idea. I had wanted to do four mini-releases with 5 songs each over the course of the year. But after discussing it with Jazzhaus, I decided to deliver a compact collection of 10 songs on one CD, tells Sardinas as he lets us behind the scenes.

Nine of the tracks on Boomerang are his own creation, and he added one cover song. Trouble is taken from the vault of his great idol. My first concert that I attended at a young age was one of Elvis Presley. He more than mesmerized me with his energy on stage – and his songs were simply awesome! And ‘Trouble’ was always one of my favorites, he explains his decision. In this way, I want to carry on his legacy! However this song, like Boomerang, exemplifies Sardinas’ musical ambition. I want to bring straight Rock n’ Roll and Blues together and mix them up into my own thing.”

Southern California has long been a hotbed for some of the most explosive, original and innovative guitar players of our time. And while Eric Sardinas is all those things, he is possibly the only contemporary rock/blues player who embodies a true connection, – via his electrified ‘resonator’ style – with original Delta bluesmen like Charlie Patton, Bukka White, Big Bill Broonzy, Elmore James and Muddy Waters.

Eric emerged on the Southern California blues scene in the early ’90s and proceeded to alter the Rock/Blues musical landscape with his slide guitar style, his gritty vocals and diesel fuelled blues-rock songs. 11 years after bursting on the live scene, Eric is closing in on the summit of the Rock/Blue world, uniquely fusing Mississippi Delta country blues, Chicago style R n B, Motor City boogie and smoky Southern rock.
