Artistic Director - PCat Productions and The Copa Boys
In 2013, Eric was named Artistic Director of The Copa Boys, and is thrilled to join them on what is quickly becoming a meteoric rise to the top of the nightlife industry. After initially debuting their act at NYC's historic Iridium Jazz Club, they quickly found themselves performing for thousands at a time at PACs from coast to coast. Now having teamed up with legendary conductor Michael Berkowitz, the unstoppable Copa Boys are boldly bringing the American standard back to the mainstream with their undenyable talent, class, charm and charisma. (They told me to say that last part...but to be fair, it true.)
“The vocal exploits of these thrilling talents are only matched by those singers who have made the American standards, well, standards...This is not an act of impersonations or any group trying to capitalize on a genre of another time.This is today. These guys are in the now.” -John Weatherford, Times Square Chronicles
