Biography

At the height of the 60s folk revival, one couldn't turn on a radio without hearing the classic "Walk Right In." Penned by Erik Darling, the song stayed on the charts for what seemed like eons. Darling, whose credits included The Tarriers and The Weavers, had at that time just organized The Rooftop Singers. Now, after three decades of following other musical muses, Darling returns to his folk roots. Everything that made Darling a hit with the Rooftops, Tarriers, and Weavers -- his sparkling banjo playing, his arresting 12-string guitar style, his keen ear for tight harmony and unique arrangements, comes into play with his new group.
