Soulful blues guitar and unvarnished power-trio energy from Bahia.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Eric Assmar is a guitarist, singer and songwriter devoted to the enduring language of traditional electric blues. His work is built on the essentials: expressive guitar playing, an unmistakable vocal presence, strong songwriting and the close, organic exchange of a live band. With a sound grounded in classic blues tradition, he brings a personal sense of tone, groove and restraint to every performance.<\/p>\n

A recognised figure of the contemporary blues scene, Assmar has developed his voice through years of work on stage, in the studio and as a dedicated student of the form. His approach does not seek to modernise the blues through effects or stylistic detours. Instead, it returns to what makes the music lasting: songs with weight, guitar lines that speak clearly, space between the notes and a rhythm section that lets the groove breathe.<\/p>\n

His album Home marked a particularly personal chapter in this journey. Released in 2022, it is widely described as his most blues-focused record to date: a collection in which autobiographical writing meets a direct, unvarnished electric sound. The album follows earlier releases Eric Assmar Trio (2012) and Morning (2016), extending a catalogue shaped by craft, consistency and a deep respect for the classic blues songbook.<\/p>\n

On stage, Eric Assmar favours the immediacy of the power-trio format. Guitar, voice, bass and drums form a compact, responsive setting where each performance can shift naturally between soulful vocals, melodic guitar statements, instrumental interplay and open, grounded rhythm. His concerts carry the warmth and spontaneity of a true live band: no excess, no distance, only musicians listening closely and allowing the songs to find their full intensity.<\/p>\n

Beyond his recording work, Assmar has received the Caymmi Music Award for Best Instrumentalist and has developed extensive expertise as a blues researcher and educator. He holds a doctorate in music and has explored the history, language and teaching of blues guitar, bringing both knowledge and lived musical experience to his work. He has also helped sustain a regular public conversation around blues through the long-running Educadora Blues radio programme.<\/p>\n

Eric Assmar\u2019s music speaks to listeners who value the direct emotional force of traditional blues: the depth of a voice, the grain of an electric guitar, the elegance of a well-placed note and the shared pulse of a band. His work is rooted in tradition, but never frozen in it, carried instead by a musician who understands that the blues remains alive when it is played with honesty, precision and feeling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
