Review: 

In his show, Pour Spirits, at the Metropolitan Room, Eric Yves Garcia gives us a strong, masculine presence and a strong voice. He’s an excellent story teller, a verbal entertainer, and his pieces give us rambling true-isms, philosophic and romantic tales, all with a heartfelt simplicity.

Many of his stories wherein he gives insights into his adventures, are prose that is sung—a kind of sprechstimme. There is good comedic writing as he performs the songs of many contemporary artists.

Garcia is a vivid pianist, and he gets fine support from bassist Ritt Henn and the super guitarist Peter Callo, it’s all quite engaging, quite entertaining.
