The Band

he Eric Tessmer Band consists of four musicians whose high-octane performances are known for packing clubs in Austin, TX .

Eric Tessmer - Guitar/Lead Vocals

Eric was born in Richland Center, WI and was raised in a family of guitarists. Combing his father's record collection at a young age, he developed a deep love for blues and psychedelia. After graduating from high school, he packed up his guitars and moved to Austin, TX in 2000. Too young to get into the clubs, he toured for several months with various Gospel choirs. In 2003, after playing with numerous other bands, he formed the ETB with Allen Daniell and Doug Day. He has played all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe and has shared stages with Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Coco Montoya, Alan Haynes, Monte Montgomery, Storyville, Bugs Henderson, and many others.

Danny G - Bass/Vocals

Danny G has been making a name for himself in the Austin music scene since moving from Corpus Christi, TX in 2000. As a guitar player he recorded and toured with Southern Gun Culture and Shandon Sahm, son of Texas Music Legend Doug Sahm. Picking up the bass to broaden his musical options paid off when he joined The Mother Truckers in 2007, who gained heavy airplay on Little Steven's Underground Garage and a feature interview in Nov 2008 Guitar Player Magazine. He was voted #8 Bass Player for 2009 Austin Music Awards. In 2009 he toured with King's X as Ty Tabor's guitar tech and joined the Eric Tessmer Band full time.

He joined the ETB in 2008 and "doesn't even OWN brushes!"
