Biography

Five years ago Eric Clayton’s life was in turmoil. What’s new, right? Ever since he formed Saviour Machine in 1989, in sunny California, with his brother Jeff, it seems much of his artistic career and his private life has been cursed rather than blessed. The story’s about banishment, mismanagement and business relationships gone sour are legion. The man even felt the need to write a book about it cause it was impossible to explain everything anymore in an interview. And yes. There’s also the stories about some album that remains unfinished. But something else had happened during that faithfull time in the Netherlands. Eric found love. A love that eventually proved so strong, the vocalist decided to permanently relocate to Europe in the summer of 2017. Determined not to let his new found inspiration and eagerness slip, Eric reached out to a couple of close Dutch friends with a simple mission: to go out, rock out and have some fun. And here we are. Eric Clayton And The Nine are about to embark on a tour that will start on November 2018 in the Netherlands and will eventually take them to various festivals and clubs all over Europe. Get ready for a set that’s stuffed with Saviour Machine classics that in many cases haven’t been performed live, by a rockband, in over twenty years, a selection from the Bowie/Decade project and tributes to some other musical heroes. Eric Clayton is back on stage. Who knows where this will lead.
