For the past six months, Brian Erickson has been moonlighting as the bassist in Jersey shore songwriter Matt Cook’s piano rock trio. And it has now been announced that he’ll be appearing as a backing vocalist on his next album, Girasole.

As The Paper Jets continue chipping away at their forthcoming full-length, Erickson has become a surprisingly-busy sideman. In addition to touring with Cook, he has played with New Brunswick punk rock quintet Finding Feebas (and is rumored to be producing their debut EP), and has recently appeared on stage with Jesse Elliot whose album he produced in 2015.

Girasole is due out by December 2017. In the meantime, check out some of Matt Cook’s previous records via Bandcamp.

]]> We weren’t lying when we said we were working on a new album! Get an advance taste with this a high-quality full-band recording of “Up to You,” a new song currently slated for inclusion on Everyday Forever.

]]> Brian recently spoke to Ed and Alice over at You Don’t Know Jersey, a PJ-B-6fantastic Garden State culture website.  Why the chat?  Well because he was lucky enough to be the subject of an ongoing series called, Musicians With Their Record Collections.  In the article, he talks about his decade in music, producing albums for others, his Great Albums Podcast, and other various ventures and adventures all through the lens of his vast record (or CD, as it were) collection.

]]> YSlogo1400_2Back in October, our very own Brian Erickson got together with another Brian.  Brian David Rothenbeck, that is, who hosts the Yarnspinners Music Podcast.  Our Brian chronicles his decade (!) in music by digging deep into the catalog; playing songs that haven’t graced the concert hall in years.  Along the way, he starts talking.  He talked so much that Rothenbeck, gracious host as he is, suggested a two-part episode.

So what we get here is Part I which covers roughly the first half (2005 – 2008) of Erickson’s proverbial journey through the past.  He speculates on what it would have taken for him to quit his college band, why it is that he contributed to the downfall of Borders Books & Music, and discusses more serious topics like failed relationships, leaving home, and losing a parent.

You can also listen to Brian make liberal use of the F-word over the course of this 43-minute episode by clicking this link.
