Eric Mcentee

Eric McEntee Saturday, May 16th 2026 All Ages | Zaku Stage Eric McEntee is a modern-day troubadour whose music carries a cinematic sense of place, shaped by a life on the road. A California native, his songs are rooted in real moments—from busking on a bridge over the Seine in Paris to recording live to tape with the Daptone Records crew in Brooklyn, to quiet reflections in Los Angeles. Blending folk, country, soul, and jazz, McEntee crafts timeless songs infused with wanderlust and emotional depth. His work draws inspiration from artists like The Byrds, Bill Withers, Karen Dalton, and Rodriguez, while collaborations with musicians connected to Bob Dylan and Mavis Staples further ground his sound in tradition. With a warm, soulful delivery and rich storytelling, McEntee creates music that feels both nostalgic and deeply present.
