Performing is something that  I enjoy doing and making music with a purpose. If I can put a smile on someone’s face through song, well that just means the world to me. I like to write some of my own music and also perform others. I try to get to the real heart and soul of a song. To me, it's not just words but a story and I do my best to portray that with every line. That’s my main draw to country music; the stories, the people, and the sincerity that comes from the heart.

Seven and Counting is a new, nine-piece band with a several tracks recorded so far. 
Our sound is a kind of a mixture of styles and influences each and every one of us picked up "along the road", from rock to country and blues and whatever falls between so it's hard for us to select one single genre to match our style. 
We are currently working on new and original songs for our first record.

Eric Atkinson is an indie artist ( singer/songwriter) from The Plains, Ohio. He is passionate about his work and sharing his talent with the world.

We are song-writers that record our own music. We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia near the Shenandoah river. Our interests are to provide super quality demos of our songs, hopefully find publishers/artits that would take an interest in them. Our musical tastes are broad and we write everything from retro-60s to soft Country. Our folk music has a pop-sound quality. We seek excellence in presentation and take pride in our lyrics.
