Eric Henry Andersen’s signature emotive tenor voice and award-winning songwriting has captured the hearts of audiences for over a decade. His live performances invite fans on a music journey, leaving them a little more inspired and connected than before. As a solo artist and co-lead singer/songwriter of pop/rock group, The Novelists, Andersen has toured all over the nation sharing festival bills with and opening for artists such as Train, Five For Fighting, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Allen Stone, Glenn Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) and Daryl Stuermer (Genesis/Phil Collins Band).

Andersen is best known for his catchy, melodic and lyrically driven songs. To quote singer/songwriter Kate Cotter, “Andersen’s strong tenor voice is captivating. His grasp of technique, coupled with the nuance of raw emotion, rivals the best I’ve heard among any artist in the industry.” While Andersen’s music draws from themes of self-discovery, unwavering faith in the human spirit and overcoming adversity, his deadpan comedic stage presence never fails to draw a laugh from the audience.

When Eric isn’t on tour or producing music, he performs regularly throughout the greater Reno/Tahoe area as a solo artist and in various other ensembles, including acoustic duos/trios with singer/songwriters, Joel Ackerson (The Novelists Acoustic Duo/Andersen Ackerson), Whitney Myer, and Kate Cotter. He also performs occasionally with the Daryl Stuermer Band as a guest lead vocalist. In November of 2020, Andersen was appointed to the Reno Arts & Culture Commission, where he is currently serving a three-year term.
