About The Show

City Winery Presents: Eric Roberson live on Friday October 20th at 7:30 PM. 

“My brother Eric Roberson, I believe, is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time.” - DJ Jazzy Jeff 

As a GRAMMY Award-nominee, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Professor and Howard University Alum, Eric Roberson continues to break boundaries as an independent artist in an industry dominated by major labels, manufactured sounds and mainstream radio.

Described as the original pioneer of the independent movement in R&B/Soul music, Eric has achieved major milestones in his career, from being a successful songwriter and producer for notable artists such as Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Dwele, Vivian Green and countless others, to headlining sold out tours across the country. 

Eric is celebrating twenty one years as an independent artist, creating “Honest Music” since 2001, which has afforded him the artistic freedom that isn’t typically offered in the mainstream music industry. “I was more than willing to take less to enjoy my passion. I was fortunate to be rewarded with a career…a career that I never dreamed of.” 

Eric released his 17th studio album on April 1, 2022 entitled “Lessons”. Last year, Eric Roberson released the lead single from the album, "Lessons'' to rave reviews across the board. He then returned with “Lessons” (Remix) featuring Anthony Hamilton, Raheem DeVaughn and Kevin Ross to instant success. This superstar collaboration led to a surprise performance appearance at the Feb 2022, Verzuz battle featuring Anthony Hamilton and Musiq Soulchild, which left soul-music aficionados wanting more. In March 2022, he released his first book, “Lessons (100 Thoughts on Life & Love)”.
