Erik Clampitt's introduction to guitar began when he was 8 years old. Ms. Roy, his second grade teacher at his Catholic elementary school, began teaching Erik her catalog of protest and children songs. Years later, Erik would find himself immersed in the Portland indie/pop scene, but abandoned it for the "lesser evils in life," and returned to his acoustic roots. Erik co-founded Clampitt, Gaddis & Buck with Marley Gaddis and Sean “Buck” Burke in 2003, continuously touring the west coast and releasing two full-length albums and multiple EP’s. He later founded The Clampitt Family in 2007. Erik will be performing as a solo artist this year, showcasing new material and dipping into his extensive repertoire from former bands Clampitt, Gaddis & Buck, and the Clampitt Family. He'll be joined on stage by guest musicians from Mighty Ghosts, Whiskey Puppy, Clampitt, and Gaddis & Buck.
