BIOGRAPHY

A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1994, and hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Voices of All Time, Eric Burdon’s music forged new territory while also topping the charts for more than five decades. A native of Newcastle, England, Burdon was a founding member and front man of the British Invasion band The Animals, and is the voice behind such iconic hits as “The House of the Rising Sun,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and “We Gotta Get Out of This Place.” Burdon continued through the years to perform with different iterations of the Animals, while also founding and fronting the funk group War, one of the first multiracial bands, and topped the charts again with his groundbreaking hit single “Spill the Wine”. Five decades, 50 records, 6 millions albums sold into his career he shows no signs of slowing down with a new release coming this year.
