Road Trip Poets are a blend of folk-goth music, Baltimore story-telling, and glorious percussive grooves. Performing as a three piece, the band includes guitars, hand-drums, and the world's one and only wireless electric washboard.
Road Trip Poets is a trio of multi-instrumentalists. Eric Whitehair sings, and plays guitar and percussion (including the Washboard). Sandy West plays percussion from all over the world and sings. Ed Eibel plays guitar and other string instruments, blending music traditions to make a truly original sound.
The band writes and records original music, posted on Spotify and SoundCloud, and also posts performance videos on YouTube. Live shows inspire audiences listen, think, and groove along to the music. On top of original songs, Road Trip Poets play a wide range of rock, alt-rock, and blues covers from the 80s and 90s, and classics from bands like the Beatles, Willy Nelson, and Del Shannon. Shows are family friendly and can be customized to fit venues. More information is on the Road Trip Poets Facebook and Instagram pages!
