Veteran musician Eric Ace is celebrating a major milestone this year, marking 50 years in music with the release of his very first solo album. After decades spent performing, writing, and collaborating across bands and projects, the album represents a personal moment for an artist who has been a familiar name on the local scene for half a century.
The record brings together songs that reflect Ace’s journey through the blending the styles and influences that have shaped his career. From classic rock and blues tones to more intimate acoustic moments, the collection showcases both his experience as a performer and his growth as a songwriter. For many longtime fans, it is a chance to hear Eric Ace’s voice and musical perspective front and center, without the framework of a group.
Reaching 50 years in music is rare, and Ace said the album is both a reflection and a celebration of that path. It honors the gigs, the collaborations, and the people who supported him along the way, while also looking forward with new material written specifically for this chapter.
The debut solo release arrives at a time when audiences are reconnecting with live music and storytelling, and it serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of artists who have helped shape the sound of their generation. With this project, Eric Ace not only commemorates five decades on stage, but also opens a new one on his own terms.
