Eric Chenaux plays guitars, ballads, electronics, tunes and improvisations.
He is currently a member of The Reveries, The Draperies, Drumheller,
The Guayaveras
and The Allison Cameron Band. These groups share affiliation with the
Toronto-based record label, Rat-drifting --
a home for sweet-psychedelic experimental polyphony and fried pop.
Chenaux had also released his hacks of ballads
on two solo records (Dull Lights and more currently Sloppy Ground) on
the Montréal- based record label, Constellation.
Eric will be performing solo renditions of these ballads with voice,
electric guitar and whammy Echo harps.
