“Eberhardt
sings with passion and with wit…what makes his
brand so rare is the self-assurance and poise he
brings to his nearly flawless show.” - The
New York Post
Red
House recording artist Cliff Eberhardt knew by age
seven that he was going to be a singer and
songwriter. As a child Cliff taught himself to play
guitar, piano, base and drums. In his teens
Eberhardt was fortunate enough to live close to the
Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East
Coast), he cut his teeth listening to the likes of
James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen,
Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Raitt, and
Mississippi John Hurt - receiving an early and
impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same
time, he was also listening to great pop songwriters
like Cole Porter, the Gershwins, and Rodgers and
Hart, which explain his penchant for great melodies
and clever lyrical twists.
A driving force of the Greenwich Village New Folk
movement and well known among his peers, Cliff’s
songs have been covered by the likes of Richie
Havens, Buffy St. Marie, Erasure, Lucy Kaplansky and
the folk superstar band "Cry, Cry, Cry"
(Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky).
