Eric Roberson is the most awarded artist in SoulTracks history. A multiple winner of SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards, he has been an indie soul leader and an artist who has always brought it.

After a two year absence, Erro is back November 8 with a hot new album on Purpose Records/E One Entertainment called Mister Nice Guy
It’s been eight albums. Usually by the eighth album a fan knows all of his or her favorite artist’s tricks, gimmicks, affectations, strengths and weaknesses—fresh surprises are the least expected. So, by this time in an artist’s career, some once devoted fans move on, bored with familiar timbre and techniques that once inspired awe and reverence. Others stick around comforted by the familiarity of their musical family friend, hugged by the anticipated experience of hearing their favorite lick, run and harmonic structure redone for the umpteenth time. So, it is with great relief that a listen to Eric “Erro” Roberson’s eighth full-length project reveals a young veteran who can still pull a rabbit or several out of his proverbial hat. On Mister Nice Guy, Roberson is both old and new again and the combination reveals an album that’s a grower, not a shower in its ability to woo. Surprisingly, from start to finish, it’s his most cohesive since Vault 1.0 and his most artistically eclectic release since his 10-year old independent debut, Esoteric.
