Eric Himan is back! Also known as the gay Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter Eric Himan is in a different place in his head from the last time he was in the house.
After taking six months off to figure out where he wanted to go in his musical career, Eric Himan returned with a renewed sense of passion, a solo tour and two new albums- “Everywhere All At Once” and his acoustic “There’s Gotta Be Something.”
He’s now running his own record company and flying solo, at the helm of his career and future. From the looks of things, it looks like smooth sailing ahead. I’ve never seen him sound so fresh and look so happy.
Join Eric Himan and his boyfriend Ryan, as Marc and I as we double date with them to talk about Eric’s new albums, being confused for someone in recovery, why he got those tattoos on his arms, and the therapeutic value of song-writing.
In his song “Acquired Taste” Eric explores the idea of being a bad guy and sneaking into guys’ bedrooms late at night. I don’t understand why that would upset anyone. Would you be upset if you saw this hot tattooed stud crawling through your bedroom window late at night for a little romantic rendezvous? I think not.
Also on today’s show, when fast food franchises are the healthier alternative, cats that speak Chinese, Naomi Campbell’s custodian sentence, and music as a form of punishment.
Check out Eric Himan’s tour dates on his website, www.erichiman.com Go get your photo taken with him wearing your own Feast of Fools t-shirt! Check out the great photos we took of him and his tattoos.
Let’s give them something to think about, let’s listen to the Feast of Fools together!
