Eric Himan

Four short years, Eric Himan has begun to build his own reality. Eric Himan (released September 2000) began as an experiment. Eric wanted to provide his coffee shop and other live performance goers something to take with them when the lights went down. This bare, acoustic CD captures Eric's soulful roots. Eric Himan began to get passed around in the Northeast, friends started sharing with other friends, and people began to ask Eric to venture out of State College, PA and come to their towns to perform. It was also during this time that Eric began to play many collegiate events. He managed starting to regionally tour while still a full time student at Penn State University. Thumbcrown Records was born. Thumbcrown derived its name from the crown tattoo displayed on his right thumb. In less than 6 months, Eric sold over 500 copies of Eric Himan after shows and locally in State College. To date, Eric Himan is in its fourth printing and has sold over 2000 copies.

To date, Eric looks to have a band join him on the road, and continue to grow as a musician and individual. Thumbcrown Records began for Eric as a way to make his dreams come true. He could not have imagined the impact that simply making music true to himself would have on so many.
