ERIC PRICE
Vocals / Guitars / Drums
As an inaugural member of the project, Eric wears many hats
in the show, figuratively and literally!
Although Eric was originally invited to participate as a
dedicated percussionist, it rapidly became apparent as rehearsals progressed
that with his diverse musical abilities and prodigious computer expertise
he would figure into a larger role in the show. His ability to seamlessly
switch between drums, keyboard and guitar, along with his vocal skills,
allows him to 'fill in the gaps' for both musical and technical needs.
Combine this with his 'can do' attitude and his love of showmanship, and
the die was cast.
Eric also brought a surprise to the show ... some unique
characters and costumes. These include the tyrannical Headmaster featured
during the Wall medley, and the creation of 'Mr. Big' as the fat-cat,
cigar-smoking, disingenuous record executive singing to the boys in the
band for Have A Cigar.
Throughout the show, Eric switches instruments and costumes while at the same time running the computer and triggering the show's sound effects and circular-screen videos.
To quote Eric, "...despite being quite busy during the
show at times, I wouldn't have it any other way. I really enjoy the challenges,
not to mention wearing a couple of costumes is a real hoot!!"
