Erich Asperschlager is a good name but a bit long for a marquee, which is why he goes by the shorter and more instructive, Erich with an H. It’s a name that speaks not only to his parents’ inexperience in naming a first born son, but also the sense of humor and playfulness that Erich brings to his music. Drawing from an eclectic array of influences, Erich’s original material is a mix of folk, alternative, British Invasion, power pop, and novelty tunes. His songs cover the range of human experience, from heartbreak to political protest.
