Eric Lee Beddingfield first caught Country Music charts and song spinners attention with his self-titled debut album in 2007. By 2008, Beddingfield was named one of the “top ten artists to watch” by New Music Weekly and three singles from the album all landed in the Top 40 of MusicRow’s Country Breakout Chart. “Nowhere USA” earned a #1 independent release ranking in October 2008 on Power Source Magazine’s top country chart.
The Martinez, GA, born artist credits George Jones, Lynyrd Skynyrd & Merle Haggard with influencing his swampy, southern-rockin, hard-core country style, “My music is the bastard child of Southern Rock and what Country used to be,” Eric asserted. Beddingfield is just released his sophomore album, This Life Ain't For Everybody.
“Eric Lee Beddingfield - If He Sings & Looks Like A Star, Then He’s A Star!”

“Eric Lee Beddingfield is a singer, songwriter and entertainer whose destiny could lead him nowhere else except on stage singing his unique brand of country and Southern rock songs about the life he’s lived and witnessed.”
Jerry Jolthouse - nashville.com Artist of the week
“We both sat there at the showcase, watching this guy lay out some of the best vocals either one of us have ever heard. His stage presence was addictive. No Pro-Tools here. No slick polish. Just a great vocalist laying out the goods.
It was awesome.”
Shannon Dauphin - Music Nashville
“The album is good -- but it doesn't do him justice. If you want a taste of what he can really do, you've got to see Eric live. The man can bring it like nobody's business.
