A new Gibson Strings blues star in Eric Sardinas
by R. Scott Johnson
Gibson Strings & Accessories

If you love your blues hot and in your face, then check out "Treat Me Right", the debut CD of the Eric Sardinas Group (Evidence Records). Eric's mastery of the Dobro® is amazing and his blistering riffs are played exclusively on Gibson Phos Bronze strings (G-230). The Eric Sardinas Group has been one Southern California's hardest working acts, playing close to 300 shows a year, garnering critical acclaim for their mixture of traditional Delta Blues with incendiary arrangements and solos that will leave you craving more.

Eric's bass player Paul Loranger gets his powerful bass tone with the help of Gibson Thunder Plus bass strings. Paul's five string bass licks provide the perfect backbone to Eric's licks, and together with the help of drummer Scott Palacios, lay down the driving beat for the band.

Eric has been a faithful endorser of Gibson Phos Bronze strings, choosing them above all others for their pure tone and their ability to take a lot of abuse onstage and in the studio, while still giving him the tone that makes his Dobro® wail night after night. For those who have seen Eric live, you'll understand why choosing the right strings is such an important decision.
