“Peters is a standout among the overcrowded scene of singer/songwriter folk-pop.” - RELEVANT Magazine “It’s clear that Eric Peters has a love for literature and an ear for a great pop hook. Peters has the skills of a seasoned artist.” – Christianity Today

Originally hailing from south Louisiana, Eric Peters is as genuine as he is down to earth. What you see is what you get. Eric is an artist at heart. Unafraid to laugh at himself, he also knows when it is time to be quiet. A performing singer-songwriter since 1993, he has recorded nine albums, is a member of the Square Peg Alliance (Andrew Peterson, Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, Andrew Osenga etc.), is currently writing his first book (slated for 2013 release), and most recently took up painting as a new creative outlet.

Eric’s art works on multiple levels – his beautiful melodies and images are immediately accessible, but his intentions continue to emerge long after the first impressions fade away. The varying layers continually reveal new discoveries the deeper and harder one looks.

“I have, from the beginning, sought to bring something pretty into the world, to write words and paint scenes I myself would like to hear and see, to remind myself that, though so often obscured, the light is not, nor will it ever, be overcome by darkness.”

“I trust that my work is interpretative, not merely instructional. While instruction can be instantaneous and fleeting, interpretation allows for the factor of time: Time to heal, time to breathe, time to forgive, time for anger, time for failure, time for success, time to change, and time to become.”

Recurring themes of faith and hope-triggered plotlines are simply an echo of who Eric Peters is, his experiences, and his attempts to understand his own fallible world. “I am doomed without the strong and tender hand of mercy. I hope to share that of myself: the tangible and intangible, the noble and despicable, the manageable and mysterious.”
