Eric Shouse

Eric started in music at the age of 7.  Growing up as the son of a pastor, Eric's parents encouraged his creativity and gave him numerous opportunities to perform in front of people.  Performing (including playing an accordion that his parents purchased for him at age 11) became a large part of his creative expression.  In high school, Eric began to write songs which led to graduating with a degree in Music Theory & Composition from Azusa Pacific University.  While in college, Eric became a founding member of the band, Pushstart Wagon, where he spent several years recording and performing around the country.  He has had songs placed in television shows on MTV as well as other networks.  Eric's Song 'Sweet Hope Divine' was featured on the 2009 Saddleback Worship Conference album, and his song 'The Good Shepherd' was recently turned into a children's book (www.thegoodshepherdbook.com).  Currently, Eric is writing songs for a number of projects including worship songs, children's songs/books, and other songs for albums and film/television.
