“Eberhardt sings with passion and with wit…what makes his
brand so rare is the self-assurance and poise he brings to his
nearly flawless show.” —The New York Post
Cliff Eberhardt moved to New York in 1978 because the clubs
were great (the Bitter End, the Speakeasy, Kenny’s
Castaway, Folk City) and the company amazing (John
Gorka, Suzanne Vega, Lucy Kaplansky, Julie Gold,
Steve Forbert, Christine Lavin, and Shawn Colvin), New
York was an ideal musician’s boot camp. Cliff worked steadily
on his music throughout the 80’s, doing solo gigs and studio
work, and playing guitar on the road with Richie Havens,
Melanie and others.
In 1990 Cliff’s song “My Father’s Shoes,” appeared on
Windham Hill’s Legacy collection, leading to a deal with the
label. They released Cliff’s first album, The Long Road
(1990), a work featuring a duet with Richie Havens. The
critical response to this debut was outstanding (the
Philadelphia Inquirer called the album a “repeatedly
astounding collection”).
He followed with two more records on Windham Hill before
releasing, 12 Songs of Good and Evil (1997) on Red
House Records, Since then, Cliff has released 3 albums on
the label, including his latest The High Above and the
Down Below, recorded in Minneapolis with noted jazz
players Gordy Johnson, J. T. Bates and Rich Dworsky.
Also Featuring: Debra McElroy , a well known poet from the Key Peninsula. Her work has been presented throughout the Northwest. Her Newest book of Poetry entitled OLD MOON
