About Us

Meet Eric Schiavone

I picked up guitar at 11 in Newport, RI. Learned much from my twin brother, Don, who is an incredible keyboardist/ composer. Early inspirations were Hendrix, The Church, Squeeze, and Pat Metheny. Played in bands all thru Catholic high school: The Realm, The Essentials, and Rhythm Method.

At URI, I joined Johnny Quahog and the Llamas, which played frat parties, bars, and a lighthouse.

I was part of the original lineup from Shadyac's Electric Hair Tonic from 2002, the original St. Jude Band. Played bass until 2021, and switched to guitar. I have loved every opportunity to give back time and talent for the kids at St. Jude.
