With the first leg of his world tour just around the corner and anticipation for his new studio album "Sandstorm" (out June 2026) reaching a fever pitch, Eric Steckel is upping the ante: The blues-rock virtuoso officially announces the "Second Leg" of his 2026 live run, set to sweep across Europe this autumn.
Short Bio
In an era where pedalboards, laptops and samples have become commonplace, Eric Steckel goes against the grain—harking listeners back to the days when great guitars were played loudly through great amps. Hailed by many as one of the leading modern voices in blues rock, Eric delivers a powerhouse performance that has left audiences in 30+ countries mesmerized. His signature blend of hard rock and blues—often dubbed “Bluesmetal”—is must-see for fans of guitar-driven music. Steckel’s story began early: his debut album A Few Degrees Warmer was recorded live when he was just 11. He has shared the stage with or opened for legends including Ray Charles, Steve Vai, Gregg Allman, B.B. King, John Mayall and Johnny Winter.
Fast-growing audience
Eric Steckel’s momentum is also reflected online, with a rapidly growing fanbase and strong engagement across platforms—currently 151,000 followers on Instagram and 168,000 followers on Facebook.
