Erik Flores is a Texas singer-songwriter whose stories and music shed a little light on the things we all seem to face from time to time. Erik started his career in Austin, Texas and after a handful of loud and eclectic years, he eventually found himself in Los Angeles where he reconnected with his love of Americana/Country music.
After starting the band Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light, gaining some notoriety and releasing two albums, he returned home to Texas and landed in the small Hill Country town of Driftwood where he continues to write and record. Erik’s solo performances pull from an ever-growing collection of new songs, but lean a little harder into his classic Texas influences.
