Eric Stuart Coming to Iowa

Davenport, IA - December 16, 2013 - Anime-zing! in Iowa announced today that famous voice actor Eric Stuart will be appearing at the 2014 anime convention in Eastern Iowa.

Brooklyn born and raised singer/songwriter Eric Stuart is a special blend of talent. He has successfully combined the world of music, voice acting and directing for many years. Besides starring in hit shows including Pokémon (Brock, James) and Yu-Gi-Oh! (Seto Kaiba), Eric has toured with such rock legends as Peter Frampton, Ringo Starr, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jethro Tull, Chicago, Hall & Oates, Dave Mason, Julian Cope, Dave Davies, The Alarm, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, and Jeffrey Gaines.

The Eric Stuart Band released their latest album, Lipstick and Barbed Wire, in June 2013. This is their sixth full-length release on the indie label Widow's Peak Records and it features Grammy winning guitarist Peter Frampton.

In the summer of 1997, Eric's classic rock and roll style was noticed by Ringo Starr who invited him to open the Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band tour, featuring Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce (Cream), Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) and Simon Kirke (Bad Company). That exposure served as a springboard for Eric to open for the Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Paul Rodgers tour that same summer. Since then, Eric Stuart has been touring on a regular basis including two U.S. tours with Peter Frampton. In 2000, Frampton produced Eric's next album, Blue, Dressed In Black, along with John Regan and Harvey Jay Goldberg.

Now living in Nashville, Eric's songwriting talents have given him the opportunity to begin co-writing with some of Nashville's finest songwriters. The band's great live show of all original, guitar-driven rock/pop has made the Eric Stuart Band a must-see in the area. Other projects in Eric's impressive career are Viva Piñata, Ultimate Muscle, Dinosaur King, Kirby, Slayers, Chaotic, Sonic X, TMNT, GoGoRiki, One Piece, F-Zero, Magical DoReMi, Fighting Foodons, Shaman King, Descendants of Darkness, Labyrinth of Flames, Valkyrie Profile, Tama and Friends, and voicing many national radio and TV commercials and audiobook narrations.

Anime-zing! is a three-day celebration of Japanese culture, music, and animation. The convention features numerous events such as Japanese language lessons, panel discussions of anime shows, and numerous sessions with special guests from the Japanese anime industry. Every year the convention includes over 100 different events, the largest of which can be seen at http://qcanimezing.com/

Anime-zing! will be held from July 11-13 at The RiverCenter in downtown Davenport, Iowa. More details can be found online at http://qcanimezing.com/
