Guitarist and vocalist Eric Fontana releases “Studies in R + B” with his quartet The Ultra Fine Reducers, which features bassist Thomas Brinkley, Keith Munslow on keys, drummer Vinnie Pagano and Eric Bloom on trumpet. A longtime fixture on the Providence music scene and musical theater for Trinity Rep and Perishable Theater, Eric was a member of Mother Jefferson in the late nineties and a current member of Hope Anchor. His solo work has previously appeared on the 75orLess 2006 PARL 2XCD Benefit compilation. “Studies in R + B” is a musical road trip of various eras, geographical locations and styles of American Rhythm and Blues music, as seen through the eyes of a modern indie pop-rock mutt. Influences include Paul Westerberg, Jack White, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Redding, Etta James, Buddy Guy, and Big Mama Thorton.
