Murrells Inlet, South Carolina – The Eric Wayne Band is scheduled to perform live on May 3, 2025, at Dead Dog Saloon. The concert will run from 8:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., offering music enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy a night filled with engaging performances.
Eric Wayne Slone, known professionally as Eric Wayne, hails from Roanoke, Virginia, where his musical journey began early in life. Encouraged by his mother, he started taking piano lessons as a child, dedicating six years to mastering the instrument. However, after focusing on school sports for some time, Slone transitioned from piano to self-teaching guitar and developing his singing abilities.
The genesis of the Eric Wayne Band traces back to 2016 when Slone began jamming with his friend Derek Kelly. Realizing their potential in entertaining multiple audiences, the duo took the bold step to approach local bar owners to secure live performance gigs. Despite lacking a social media presence and any recorded demos, they captivated venue owners with an impromptu performance in Roanoke, leading to a series of bookings throughout the region.
Amid the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the band was able to leverage connections established with a friend from the Tin Roof franchise. This network facilitated more performance opportunities at several Tin Roof locations, including Raleigh, Columbia, and Myrtle Beach, further expanding the band’s reach.
The current lineup of the Eric Wayne Band features talented musicians, including Shavante Hughes on drums and Tyler Carter on bass. Their music is characterized by a blend of Southern rock, country rock, and rock ‘n’ roll influences, showcasing a diverse range of cover songs that span multiple genres, including renditions of works by Tracy Chapman and selections from R&B and hip-hop.
The Eric Wayne Band has also released an album titled “Southern Soul”, which is available across various streaming platforms. A profound sentiment from the album’s title track captures the essence of the band’s artistic philosophy, emphasizing their commitment to passion in music: “We do what we love/That’s all we know how to.” This perspective shapes their live performances, which promise to deliver high-quality entertainment.
