Internationally acclaimed blues-rock guitarist, singer and songwriter Eric Steckel has announced the release of his brand-new studio album Sandstorm, to be released 11th September via OPEN / SPV Recordings.
To coincide with the album announcement, Steckel has released ‘She’s A Golddigger’ – another glimpse into the new record. The track and the video are now available to stream everywhere.
“‘She’s A Golddigger’ is just plain fun,” comments Eric Steckel. “It was one of the songs that I just couldn’t wait to record for this album and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it. The lyrics are just hilarious, very relatable, especially to those who are musicians or in the arts. But even if you’re not, I think you’ll get a kick out of this song.”
