DESCRIPTION:
EB Fraley's music has been the choice for events at companies like Microsoft, AT&T,
Associated Builders and Contractors, Maverick Productions, as well as numerous other
private and public events.
Born and raised in California, Eric "EB" Fraley began playing live in front of hundreds of
people at the age of 14. He toured the country at 18 playing in over 150 cities, and
recorded his first solo album at age 20.
Fraley performs weekly at different venues in Los Angeles, and plays private parties and
events all over the country. In addition to his award winning originals, Eric's repertoire
includes over 100 cover songs from classic artists like the Beatles, Eagels, James Taylor,
Tom Petty, and Steve Miller to more contemporary flavors by Train, Gavin DeGraw,
Matchbox 20, Keane, John Mayer, and Jack Johnson, just to name a few. Even some blues
by Muddy Waters or Stevie Ray Vaughan is within Fraley's scope, or 80's favorites by the
Cars, Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, U2, and even Men at Work.
If you decide to hire EB Fraley for your function, you can make one or two special song
requests that will be accomodated, if possible. Price range depends on travel time, length
of engagement, and other factors. In certain cases (like overseas, some out of state locations, and long distance gigs that require a lot of driving time) there will need to be additional provisions for travel expences and lodging.
Producer credits for Grammy Award-nominated artists like Tanya Tucker and Ty
Herndon, and for numerous rising stars, including Tyrone Wells, Sara Haze, Chelsea Lena, Levi Kreis, Waylon Payne, Evanne Riskas, Scott 'Twitch' Anderson, and Tonya Watts (to name just a
handful).
Vocal and guitar work on dozens of songs featured on television shows and
advertisements, including MTV's Newlyweds, CBS's The Young and the Restless, The WB's
High School Reunion, ABC's One Life to Live, commercials for the Yamaha 'Star' line of
motorcycles, Fox's 30 Seconds of Fame, CBS's Star Search, ABC's All My Children, CBS's Jag,
The WB's Charmed, and NBC's Passions ).
In 2002, EB Fraley and Evanne Riskas, performing as '57 Views', won UCLA's Spring Sing
Best Overall and Best Duet for the performance of their song 'Someone Has to Be' (other years' winners include Sara Bareilles, Tyrone Wells, and Raining Jane).
EB Fraley has played all over the country with his own band, and opened for such acts as
Train and the B-52s.

Eric was absolutely wonderful. He arrived early to allow for setup and was very professional. His performance was a perfect backdrop for our birhday dinner with guests raving about his talent. Eric was able to provide just the right amount of ambience, neither too loud nor too quiet so that guests could socialize or just sit, listen, and enjoy. I had many ask who he was and want to hire him for future parties. I would definitely recommend Eric and will use him for any special occasions in the future!
--Kris B. Chatsworth, CA 1/19/2008
Eric added so much to my special 40th Birthday celebration. He is very talented and all the guests were very entertained. Everyone had such a great time and commented several times on how great Eric was. If you are ever looking for some entertainment and would like a guitarist, soloist, Eric is the one.
--Cheri A. Placentia, CA 11/10/2007
Eric did an outstanding job! He was very professional, but more importantly... he was great. Everyone enjoyed his music & talent. We received a number request for his contact info after the party. I would absolutely recommend Eric to anyone trying to add the perfect touch to their event.
--Cody S. Glendale, CA 9/30/2007
Eric was great! All my guests loved him, as did I. He was the perfect entertainer for my 40th birthday. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
--Shauna D. San Diego, CA 9/8/2007
Eric was wonderful – He was on time, set up quickly and jumped right into what seemed like an endless collection of music; with each song better than the one previous. My five year old, Sophia was absolutely smitten which was quite apparent even without the two dress changes – even adorning Eric w/her cowboy hat which he was gracious enough to wear for a song.
I cannot count how many complements I received from our guests about Eric – and selfishly I reveled in it but all I did is make a very good decision to hire him. It was a great party and we had a great time. We look forward to our next event with Eric there!
--Blue S. Altadena, CA 8/18/2007
Eric is not only very talented and professional, but also very pleasant and friendly. Numerous guests at my event commented on what a fabulous job he did. His performance really helped make our anniversary party a memorable one both for us and for our guests. I would highly reccommend him for any occasion from an elegant dinner party (as ours was) to a small informal gathering or even a large-scale event! If I could, I would hire him to sing and play every evening in my home!! Well done!
--Perla D. Tustin, CA 8/9/2007
We hired Eric for our wedding, and he was absolutely PERFECT! He is a wonderfully talented musician, and everyone loved his musice. He made the event perfect!
--Kyle H. Scottsdale, AZ 8/4/2007
We hired Eric to play at our poolside wedding in Las Vegas on June 30, 2007.
It was the BEST decision we could have made. Eric was perfect in every way!!!
I had a few songs that he didn't know, but he took the time and learned them for our wedding. It was truly amazing, it was like he'd known the songs for years.
Everyone LOVED him. I must have had 40 people ask me how I found him, and I gladly told them.
The President of Kahunaville Events at Treasure Island said, "He's incredible, he's better than anyone I've heard in Las Vegas".
George and I might have another party just so we can get Eric out here to play again ~ HE'S THAT GOOD!!

Eric was absolutely wonderful, and I would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to others. He was very prompt, professional, and friendly - and his performance was nothing short of outstanding! My event was just a small private house party, but he really kicked it up a notch and turned it in to a special evening for me and my guests. Thanks again, Eric!
--Deborah S. Santa Ynez, CA 6/10/2007
Eric was AMAZING!! An incredible musician! We received so many positive responses from friends and family after our wedding. He is timely, professional, talented, and was able to create a sophisticated ambiance for our pre-event cocktails. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone. He is a MUST for any special event. (THANKS ERIC!!!)
--Erin D. Los Angeles, CA 6/8/2007
Eric was fantastic
He came early to set up, was flexible on starting when the time was right, not by the clock.
He had the audience engaged and put up with my husband sharing the mic with him!
Overall we were very satisfied and would hire Eric again.
--Karen H. Portola Valley, CA 5/19/2007
Leading up to the event Eric was always accesible to answer questions and give input. His perfomance exceeded all my expectaions. Eric has a great voice and sounded wonderful during the ceremony and cocktail hour. My friends and family couldn't say enough about how great he was.
There was on down side. We had to have our pictures taken during the cocktail hour, so we couldn't fully enjoy his awesome guitar playing and vocals.
I would difinetely recommend Eric to any of my friends and use him for another event.
Thanks for making our day even better.
Sincerely,
Megan Lamb

EB was a terrific addition to our annual corporate holiday party this year. He was very professional and is an extremely talented performer. He has a great voice and is a wonderful guitarist. -If can hire only one performer for your party, EB is your man!
I would highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again in the future. Thanks, EB!

Eric was just fabulous! I have yet to send out my post-event survey to my convention attendees and exhibitors but from what I've been hearing, everyone just loved him. Many folks were coming up to me and asking where I found him...very cool. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone!!!

I want to host another event just so EB can be there!! He was wonderful!
--Denise C. Visalia, CA 10/21/2006
Eric was the perfect person to play at our informal Saturday afternoon wedding. He instinctively knows what to play and when, performs flawlessly and has great taste in music. He is professional, punctual, flexible, well groomed, personable, warm and extremely talented. My husband and I could not have been any happier with him and his performance that day. We've definitely become fans and will check out his local gigs when we can. Eric is fantastic!
--Christine H. Pasadena, CA 10/14/2006
Eric was without a doubt the most popular component of our corporate reception. He has an amazing voice, is a gifted guitarist, and has a very personable demeanor. His music definitely and positively influenced the atmosphere of the evening... songs everyone loves singing to from many genres and eras - had everyone thinking he was playing all of "their" favorite songs ;)
This is the 2nd event we have hired Eric for, and - based on the comments we continually receive on how much everyone enjoys his music and presence - it will not be the last.
--Debbie S. Huntington Beach, CA 10/2/2006
Your scale of numbers does not go high enough to acurately assess how we felt about EB Fraley. He's the best!!! He was the hit of our event and people stood in line to tell him how great he was and to get his card for themselves.
We are now HUGE fans of his!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to your website for turning us on to him.

--Denise A. Pacific Palisades, CA 5/27/2006
We can't say enough about Eric. He is a truely talented artist! Many
of our guests told us how much they enjoyed his music and that he was perfect for our wedding. He was so easy to work with and made our day
all that more special. So thank you Eric and we looking forward to hearing more of your music in the future. Can't say enough about your
original music, we listen to it all the time. Thanks again!

We received countless compliments on how great Eric was at our wedding. He played tirelessly for almost 5 hours with very few short breaks. We even had guests say that they want to hire him for their own parties. He was the best decision we made regarding our wedding [except the part where we actually decided to get married ;) ].
Thanks Eric, you rock.
