Eric B Turner is a critically-acclaimed artist whose star is rising around the world. A true multi-hyphenate, he is a singer-songwriter, actor and psychologist- therapist (PhD). 

A seasoned and respected talent, his powerful vocals and magnetic performances have opened doors to stages from Carnegie Hall to Athens, Greece. His artistry has allowed him to share the stage with icons like Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Chaka Khan, India Arie and Anthony Hamilton. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, his roots were grown in gospel and his sound has blossomed into a soulful blend of blues, gospel, R&B, jazz and funk. 

Eric first rose to prominence as the dynamic lead singer of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group The Drifters. His smooth harmonies and charismatic stage presence have since earned him widespread recognition. In 2023, Eric received a Grammy nomination for his first solo album IT AIN’T EASY, which is a masterclass in modern blues storytelling. More than just music, it serves as a tribute to and journey through the Mississippi Delta to the house scene of Chicago and the streets of Harlem. 

Eric believes deeply in protecting mental health and wellness. He not only strives to be a good steward of this message through his craft, but practices what he preaches as a successful counseling psychologist. 

Eric continues to tour globally, soon embarking on a second extensive European tour. In the fall of 2026, he will return to Broadway with a starring role as “Bo Diddle” in the new musical “Rock and Roll Man.”
