If Spoon's Restaurant in downtown McKinney charged admission for its customers to see Eric Erickson perform they would've been given their monies worth. And then some. The McKinney-based artist, who has been performing acoustic music for he past fifteen years (and even has a CD entitled Getting My Feet Wet), would not let down the audience, epecially when they requested songs made famous years ago by the Allman Brothers, Jimmy Buffett, Del Shannon, and yes, even the Rolling Stones.

Spoon's Restaurant in downtown McKinney.

Erickson, a proud husband of four children, will perform every Thurday night at Spoon's, which is located on 100 East Louisiana St., at the heart of the famous downtown square in McKinney. The next show will on February 9, from 6:00 p.m. until close. You will not want to miss this talent of a performer that not every town like McKinney can lay claim to having.
