Eric Sardinas blending rock, blues at Railhead

Eric Sardinas plays an electrified resonator guitar, and his instrument says a lot about him.

Said six-string, in acoustic form, was made famous by blues greats of yesteryear. Sardinas has since modernized the instrument, and this blend of tradition and inventiveness defines his playing as well.

A slide guitar beast who blends blustery rock 'n' roll influences with more formal blues signatures, Sardinas mines the past while eyeing the future.
