Eric Löhrer, guitarist and composer, born in 1965. He begins playing professionally while studying philosophy at the university. His much-acclaimed debut album is released as he's 23.
He then composes and tours as a leader or co-leader (Eric Löhrer Trio / Open Air 1990-1993, Olympic Gramofon 1996, Solo 1998, Eric Löhrer Quartet 2008, Duet with Didier Malherbe 2011), while being a demanded and eclectic sideman.
On the jazz scene he's been playing with Jean-Michel Pilc, Andy Emler, Julien Lourau, Eric Barret, Edouard Ferlet, Elisabeth Kontomanou, Kellylee Evans, Hadouk Quartet… and on the pop/world scene with Ibrahim Maalouf, Rokia Traoré, Geoffrey Oryema, Jeanne Cherhal, Ornette, Alain Chamfort, Steve Nieve…
He's been teaching jazz and pop music at CRR de Paris since 2009.
"His talent on the instrument and his deep musicality are familiar to us. He knows how to alternate nuance with violence, strong expressivity with delicate construction." Xavier Prévost
