"Eric Henderson is one of the finest classical guitarists performing today. He started his career as a teenager, and it has been my privilege to watch Eric and his music continue to grow. Over the past weeks, several students and faculty have mentioned that they hope he returns soon. I think that's a wonderful idea." Read more.

"...It brought the house down. I have not seen this energy in a classical guitar concert in many years.  

Technique and interpretation are without question. Henderson combines these two in an extremely aggressive manner to maximize the guitar and his performance. 

He is multi-generational. We need Eric Henderson to help carry the guitar from its glorious past to the promising future." Read more. 

Elisabeth Demongeot

San Luis Obispo Folk Music Society

"SLOfolks is fortunate to have booked many excellent guitarists but Eric Henderson is in a class by himself. His expertise is evident in the way he performs with ease and clarity. 
Whether playing a traditional spanish piece, a tune by the Rolling Stones' or one of his original compositions, Eric excels, 
Eric performed two sold out shows for our audience and their enthusiasm was evident in their response. We certainly will invite Eric back."

Carl St. Clair

Music Director - Orange County's Pacific Symphony

"His music was something uniquely wonderful. Performing on a guitar personally given to him by Andres Segovia, Eric was creating virtuosic soundscapes - all with ease, excitement, total command and complete bliss. I was in the presence of a great musician, Eric Henderson." Read more.
