Event Details
From the cruise ships of the Greek Isles to venues across the United States and Canada, Cliff Erickson has been captivating audiences for more than 30 years. His musical intuition shines through in his original songwriting, while his remarkable ability to channel the emotion of beloved cover songs sets him apart. With a warm, soothing voice and masterful command of his signature 12‑string acoustic guitar, Cliff creates performances that immerse listeners in what has been described as an unparalleled musical journey.
Throughout his career, Cliff has been chosen to open for some of the industry’s biggest names, including Ringo Starr, Kenny Rogers, The Beach Boys, Wynonna Judd, and America. In a memorable moment, the band America invited him to join them onstage for their iconic encore, “A Horse With No Name.” He has also performed at private events for notable figures, including an all-night performance at Kid Rock’s birthday celebration. On another occasion, when Cliff hosted the legendary Harry Chapin, Chapin himself remarked, “You’re a hard act to follow” which stands as a testament to the respect Cliff commands among accomplished musicians.
Cliff’s albums, Rendezvous and Acquired Taste (Accurate Records), showcase the heart of acoustic songwriting, while his holiday release, The Spirit of Christmas (2005), raised thousands of dollars to support Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. For decades, Cliff Erickson has left audiences with lasting memories through his heartfelt performances and authentic connection to music. He is, without a doubt, a rare artist whose talent resonates long after the final note.
Join us for Miller Live at the Fountain, a summer concert series presented by Arbor Financial Credit Union on the outdoor veranda at Miller Auditorium. These special evening events feature live music from talented local musicians and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with a cash bar available.
