A country artist with the soul of a storyteller and the hands of a classically trained pianist, Eric Burgett is bringing 88 keys back to the forefront of country music. A farm kid from Latham, Illinois, who grew up playing hymns at his hometown church and country tunes at his parents’ tavern, The KORN KRIB, Eric brings a refreshing twist to modern country: soulful vocals, small-town stories, and honest songs driven by keys.

Known for blending traditional country themes with the emotional depth of piano-driven arrangements, Eric has earned over 22 million global streams, two Top 30 hits on the Music Row CountryBreakout Chart, and editorial recognition from Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music, in addition to being featured on 150,000+ independent playlists. He has shared stages with artists like Chris Stapleton, Lee Brice, Clint Black, Rodney Atkins, and more. 

Eric’s breakout single, “Sometimes Late at Night,” started as a wedding day surprise for his wife and became a career-defining moment. The track peaked at #26 on Music Row, gained attention on the Billboard Indicator chart, and showcased his unique ability to turn life’s most personal chapters into widely relatable, piano-led country anthems.

Eric’s connection to family and community also fuels his work with veterans organizations. His heartfelt performances of “I’ll See You Again” and “The Man I Love to Hate” — both released through Big Machine Label Group in collaboration with CreatiVets — led to a special appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, filmed at the Grand Ole Opry House, and features on Spotify’s Veteran’s Day and 9/11: Never Forget playlists.

His all-American story and authentic image have made him a natural fit for brand partnerships with Anheuser-Busch, Miller Lite, Flag & Anthem, Monument Grills, Farm Focused, and Hardee’s, which sponsored the music video and radio campaign for his single “Swing Low, Sweet Old Cadillac,” a Top 30 charting track on Music Row. Whether it’s a solo spotlight behind the keys or a high-energy full-band show, Eric Burgett keeps the piano in the country spotlight. Looking ahead, Eric is preparing for his 2027 Truck Bed Tour, a project that reflects everything he loves about country music: community, authenticity, and bringing people together. No matter the stage, Eric's purpose is to write songs that people see themselves in and create performances that remind us all why music has the power to unite people from every walk of life.
