Among other things, award winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Eric Ramsey is the 2022 Winner of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. He is three time champion of the Phoenix Blues Society's Blues Showdown and is the winner of the Stefan George Memorial Songwriting Contest.

Eric has been active in the Arizona music scene since the mid 70s, performing solo or as part of any number of bands.
