BIOGRAPHY

Saxophonist and composer based in Nashville, TN. Described by the Jazz Journal UK as a “foot- tapping mix of hard-bop impro and rock”.
 
Eric started making his national mark after playing at the legendary Newport Jazz Festival for the first time in 2019. As a leader and composer, he has released four original albums: Eco Quartet (2017), Power (2018), Maya (2019), and Idle Minds (2021) and two cover/ tribute albums: Don't Climb the Towers (2024) and YOUNGBLOODS TRIO (2025).
A new original project is on the horizon... the search continues.

 

“If you’re a jazz fan and looking for something that straddles the line between old school and new school, definitely check out Idle Minds."                                                     - Big Takeover
"Wurzelbacher’s unforgettable melodic explorations on the saxophone make the track.”
