Red House recording artist Cliff Eberhardt knew by age seven that he was going to be a singer and songwriter. As a child he taught himself to play guitar, piano, bass and drums. In his teens Eberhardt was fortunate enough to live close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East Coast), cutting his teeth listening to the likes of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt and Mississippi John Hurt, receiving an early and impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time, he was also listening to great pop songwriters like Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and Rodgers and Hart, which explain his penchant for great melodies and clever lyrical twists.
A driving force of the Greenwich Village New Folk movement and well-known among his peers, Eberhardt’s songs have been covered by the likes of Richie Havens, Buffy St. Marie, Erasure, Lucy Kaplansky and the folk superstar band, Cry, Cry, Cry (Dar Williams, Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky). “One of the most talented musicians on the solo acoustic circuit... full of well-crafted songs and rich, emotional vocals.” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
Chris Daniels is not related to Charlie or Jack so he's had to bust his ass with his guitar, starting as a 17-year-old songwriter and guitarist back in the '70s when he played with Kate Taylor, David Johansen (before the New York Dolls), and later with Russell Smith (after The Rhythm Aces). Daniels has performed thousands of shows, touring 46 out of every 52 weeks. He also heads up his funky R&B and blues band, Chris Daniels and the Kings.
Daniels has worked making records with some of the most respected musicians in the business, including Sonny Landreth, Sam Bush, David Bromberg, Al Kooper, Bill Payne and Don Was, to name a few. As a record producer, he just finished work on Hazel Miller's ICONS, her award-winning jazz CD featuring Ron Miles. He is also a former Executive Director of Swallow Hill Music, with our in-house venue Daniels Hall named after him.
