Erik Bleich

single post

Imagine this: a small mill town nestled in the wild, untameable heart of Northwestern Ontario. This is where Erik Bleich’s music finds its roots. With an earnest voice and heartfelt guitar, Erik has a way of making you feel like you’re right there with him, gathered around a campfire, the world slipping away into the warmth of the night.
Erik’s music carries the spirit of Americana, resonating with the raw, genuine moments of life. As a singer/songwriter, he’s shared his soul through original compositions and played alongside artists like Melanie Brulée and Peter Graham, always adding his unique touch.
In his laid-back beginner guitar class, Erik focuses on getting the basics down, creating space for your voice, and adding color with simple embellishments. Whether you’re looking to jam along at the campfire or accompany basic fiddle tunes, Erik’s choose-your-own-adventure style covers basic chords, minor embellishments, rhythmic devices, strumming, and fingerpicking.
With past albums and an upcoming release titled « Sumac, » Erik is excited to share his musical journey and help new guitarists find their own rhythm and voice. It’s an invitation to explore, to learn, and to enjoy the simple, beautiful act of making music together.
