“I’ve been very impressed by how easily everything came together for this event” says Eric. “The bands and sponsors were so enthusiastic and generous with their time. Everyone’s genuine excitement about this project and for Jimi Hendrix and his music has been contagious. The artists can’t wait to get out there and wail!
