Skidmore invited Eric Harland of Houston, Texas to campus as part of this year's Filene Concert Series. Harland has been to Skidmore twice before as part of the Aaron Goldberg trio, but this was his first opportunity to play at the college under his own name.
With him came a number of accomplished musicians: Taylor Eigsti on piano, Julian Lage on guitar, and Harish Raghavan on upright bass.
"We love having Eric here," said artist-in-residence John Nazarenko, organizer of the event. "He is wonderful to work with. He is not only an impeccable technician, but also one of the most spiritual drummers I have ever had the pleasure to see. His interpretation is soulful, almost meditative."
