BLACK PUMAS

Singer/songwriter Eric Burton grew up singing in a church in West Virginia, being moved by seeing how people responded to the power of the human voice, and after moving around the country with his family to California and subsequently New Mexico he finally settled in Austin almost in 2016, cutting his teeth while busking in the streets. Eric made an impression everywhere he played, guitar in hand, whether it was a coffee shop, a bar or a house party, even becoming the subject of a short documentary called “Street Music” by photographer Andrew Bennett. Fast forward to the early fall of 2017, and musician/producer Adrian Quesada found himself with some rare downtime and began to write and record a collection of soul leaning instrumentals with the intent of eventually making a full album. The only catch was he had no singer or lyricist for the songs, he needed the perfect voice for it and in a town with so many talented musicians it still was o easy task. He found himself putting out feelers for singers as far as LA and all over the country until local producer Bryan Ray, a mutual friend of Burton and Quesada, connected the two via email. One session led another and after completing more than an album’s worth of material in a few days, Black Pumas was born. The sound is at times psychedelic, funky, bold, cinematic, but above all, soulful and sincere. Their debut album will be out late summer on Karma Chief Records, a new subsidiary of Ohio based Colemine Records.
