As far back as 1982 Eric Devries fronted the Amsterdam based trio Dance Stance supporting The Jam. In 1991 Devries founded The Big Easy, earning critical acclaim from both public and press which resulted in many live performances on national radio stations. In ’92 The Big Easy came in second in the biggest talent hunt competition known as the “Grote Prijs van Nederland”.

April 2004 saw the release of solo debut 'Little of a Romeo'. Airplay by both national and local radiostations was what followed. From the intimate 'Lost in Between' to the more outgoing 'Start anew', from the bare and sorrowfull 'Remains of the Day' to the emptyhandedness of 'But for the Gace of god' , Devries takes you from a tear to a possibly lopsided grin. With these songs Devries confirms his once appraised status as a songwriter.

Teaming up with contemporary collegues resulted in the birth of Songwriters United. This singing-songwriting collective released a live concert DVD in june 2005. A clip with Devries' ''Ballad of Johnny and Ginny" was released in summer. 'Songwriters United' released a DVD 2006 and a CD in 2008.

In 2008 Devries released his second cd 'Sweet Oblibion' on InbetweensRecords. 'Sweet Oblivion' was dubbed 'possibly the best Americana cd from dutch soil' by Revolver Magazine in that year.

Devries is currently working on third cd with producer and long time collaborator and friend BJ Baartmans.
