Blues guitarist, singer/songwriter - and Savannah legend - Eric Culberson is on the mic to talk about growing up in Coastal Georgia and grinding his way to passion and purpose in the music industry. 
Eric recalls the turning-point gig he played in Savannah in the 80's when he got paid more in one night of playing music than he was making in his day job working construction. After many late nights of playing gigs, early mornings of construction work, and falling asleep in a port-a-potty - he went full-time into music. 
While reminiscing about life as a musician during Covid, Eric shares his view from the "ten-thousand-pound merry-go-round". He says, "I'm supposed to be doing this. A higher power has always been in charge of things".
