Eric Hutchinson is currently recording the follow up to his breakthrough album, Sounds Like This, with producers Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Eminem, Regina Spektor) and Martin Terefe (James Morrison, Jason Mraz).

“I've been recording with Mike Elizondo in California and Martin Terefe in London,” said Hutchinson. “Both are amazing producers and they got the vision of what I wanted to do instantly – something organic but also current. Each city has its own vibe and I think that’s worked its way into the recordings. I'm excited to take the new songs to the fans!”

Eric will join Macy Gray for the four-city Macy’s Passport Presents Glamorama benefit also touring in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Minneapolis show is the first stop on August 6th and benefits Children’s Cancer Research Fund. For more information on Macy’s Passport Presents Glamorama, please visit www.macys.com/glamorama.
