“Hot off the heels of multiple international tours, Eric Steckel and his power trio returned to Steve Lukather’s famed Steakhouse Recording Studio in North Hollywood to record three brand new originals straight-to-tape in the spirit of last year’s ‘Steakhouse Sessions, Vol. 1’ release. Following in this same tradition, Eric and the boys performed these new songs together in the live room of the Steakhouse without the use of autotune, backing tracks, samples, metronomes or modelers. “The Steakhouse Sessions, Vol. 2” is another blistering live set of Steckel originals in their purest form.”
"In March of 2022, acclaimed American guitarist Eric Steckel took his Los Angeles-based rhythm section over to Steve Lukather’s “Steakhouse Studio” in North Hollywood for an impromptu live session. With zero autotune, samples, overdubs or re-takes, Eric and his band performed a blistering live set of original tunes which were captured on tape and video. “The Steakhouse Sessions: Vol. 1” is this set of music in its purest live original format."
“GRANDVIEW DRIVE” | 2020 "Following the rave reviews and critical acclaim of his 2018 "Polyphonic Prayer" album, Eric Steckel set forth this year to record an album that raises the bar yet again while still maintaining the soul and feel of the records his fans know and love. Handling all vocals, guitars, keys, bass and production duties, 2020's "Grandview Drive" takes Eric's signature 'Bluesmetal' sound further into arena rock territory with a bigger mix and production than his previous solo albums. "Grandview Drive" also sees Eric coming into his own as a confident songwriter with radio-friendly tracks and stadium rock hooks, all while maintaining the searing guitar licks and tones that his fans have come to expect from him. "Grandview Drive" is the next step in the progression of Eric's maturation as a guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer, and will be a favorite among those who long for the golden era of guitar-driven Rock."
"POLYPHONIC PRAYER" [2018] "After 3 years of touring the globe in support of the "Black Gold" album, Eric decided it was time to hit the studio again to make the album that had been in his head for years. With the right combination of classic Blues material and new originals; the right production team and ace session drummer, he emerged from the studio with "Polyphonic Prayer," an album that captures the essence of a live Eric Steckel show but with the pristine sounds of a world-class studio. "Polyphonic Prayer" also focuses heavily on Eric's keyboard abilities, each song drenched in beautiful Hammond B3 organ textures. Eric's vocals and guitar tone take a leap forward as well, and long-time fans can follow the progress Eric has made over the years as a recording and touring artist. "Polyphonic Prayer" is the album that threads the needle between all of the influences and genres Eric loves the most, while showcasing his musicianship to it's fullest. Turn it up!"
