Eric Leadbetter was born in Bozeman, MT, where he draws a lot of inspiration from the tall mountains to the cold smoke.

His musical career started in 2003 when he recorded his first solo album, Eric’s cosmic kitchen in St Louis, MO. He then moved to Boulder, CO in 2003 and started playing out in local coffee shops and small bars. In 2006 he established the rock n roll band, Jive Coulis, with some good friends from high school. They traveled to over 20 states performing in the veggie oil powered school bus, Sharleena.

His original music is very unique, with echoes of the golden ages of rock. He draws his musical inspiration from these eras by listening to a vast collection of classic vinyl.

“I want my music to not only reach people’s ears in a sweet and engaging way, but also to challenge the mind and inspire the heart and soul. I have creatively explored music very deeply in my life, and I see no end to the amount of musical wisdom to be gained. It is an honor for me to be able to share my musical expression with people that are open and willing.”
