The entrancing and oft solemn quality of his earlier work mixed with the electric guitar fueled passion of his later output...coupled with clever wordplay that can be both incisive and biting." – Twangville “His lyrics are dripping with truth and passion. If you’re a fan of that electric guitar Americana style, you’ll like this one.” – Ear to the Ground “A supremely gifted performing songwriter” – Performing Songwriter Though Minor Fits is New York City singer-songwriter Mike Errico’s first full-length album since 2011’s Wander Away, he has consistently been releasing new music – for films including That’s What She Said, starring Anne Heche; TV shows including Showtime’s Shameless, starring William H. Macy; and the soundtrack for the audiobook Lift, by New York Times bestselling author Kelly Corrigan. Since his label debut in 1999, the New York-based singer-songwriter has played major music festivals and shared stages with artists including Derek Trucks, Bob Weir, Amos Lee, Duncan Sheik, Raul Midon, Soulive, Jonny Lang, and many others. In addition to his performing career, Errico’s opinions and insights have appeared in publications including The New York Times, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, The UK Independent, Entrepreneur, and The Observer. Over eight albums, Errico has remained inspired by the challenge of making art while making a living. “Over the years, I learned to be versatile, and to gain as many skills as possible, but to keep my eye on the prize – creating art that’s meaningful.” As a result, he has lent his skills to everything from sonic branding to running the web site for taste making music magazine, Blender. He also passes this philosophy on to up-and-coming artists he teaches at Yale, Wesleyan, and NYU’s Clive Davis institute of Recorded Music. “The opportunity to teach has been one of the greatest gifts my recording career has ever given me. Now, one role inspires the other, and both benefit. I feel incredibly lucky.” Asked if having a lot of side hustles ever gets distracts or confuses that creative process, he says, “I was just telling a couple students the other day, in my best Yoda voice, ‘There is no dark side of the hustle, really. Matter of fact, it’s all hustle.’ OK, so it’s ripped from Dark Side of the Moon, but that doesn’t make it less true,” he laughs.
