Boat Songs Testimonials

Jimmy Buffett fans will feel at home at Puffing Billy's Pub on Northwest Broad Street. The establishment will become "Margaritaville in Murfreesboro," with Buffett protegé EricStone performing Buffett tunes.

Stone "is considered the No. 1 guy in the country" when it comes to Buffettesque performances and Caribbean music, pub owner Doug Patrick said.

Eric is a great performer and worked very hard for me. He put in a lot of hours in Miami and Chicago performing Caribbean music. He's a real asset to our boatshows. His Caribbean music is the perfect fit.

Kevin Murphy, Show Manager, NMMA Strictly Sail

I was at the Miami Strictly Sail Boat Show and heard Buffett songs. Being a parrothead, I was enjoying Eric's rendition. When he took a break, I said to my friend "Wasn't he great?" My friend said "What, I thought it was a tape."

Joe Savoy, Newport Beach, CA

Eric is very professional in what he does, a great songwriter and musician, he will surprise you in the amount of music one man can produce. If clear blue ocean water, white sandy beaches and a soft tropical breeze is something you enjoy then let Eric and his music take you there. I highly recommend him. You may also want a pina colada to go along with it.

On a recent trip to the Miami Boat Show, I saw and heard the most incredible talent that I have ever encountered in my entire life. I was on the far side of the arena at the show when I heard who I assumed was either Ronnie Dunn (of Brooks and Dunn) and Jimmy Buffett. My wife assumed the same thing. It had been rumored that J.B. himself might show up at the show. Being a somewhat self proclaimed Parrotthead, we made tracks immediately to the stage. To my amazement and gratitude, there standing on the stage was Eric Stone. Eric was performing like no other [name] that I've had the pleasure to hear.

Thanks, Eric you made our trip to the Boat Show complete...... Enjoy your (no name) status because it will rapidly change to a major headliner in the very near future. Once again thank you Eric Stone for a very memorable trip.

We were sitting in a waterfront Marina Bar in Mantanza's inlet called "The Old Bonita Fish Co." locally known as Bonita Bills, it was the middle of the week and things were pretty quiet. I was having a couple of cold ones with a guy named Eric when he asked me if people would mind if he brought in his guitar and played a few songs. I said. "Not a problem."

By the time he had tuned up and sang a few songs off his CD the dockers in the marina started to listen. Then after a half dozen tunes we could see dinghies from the anchorage tying up to the dock. The place really started to liven up, everyone was clapping and singing along and having a real good time. The bad part was, I was elected to take orders for his new CD "Songs For Sail" because everyone wanted to listen to his Caribbean style music wherever in the world they were sailing. The boy is ALRIGHT!!!

We first discovered Eric Stone singing for his supper at the Atlantic City, Chicago and Miami Boat Shows. After a particularly rough evening at a local bar, we knew he belonged with Lats&Atts. This guy is what Jimmy Buffett was as a youngster. His songs have the true feeling of a cruiser entertaining his guests.
