On Saturday (Sept. 1), Eric Roberson will be on stage at Atlanta’s One Music Fest doing what he loves, while thinking of the people he loves.
Due to his intense work schedule, the Mister Nice Guy creator revealss that he’s cut back tremendously due to his growing family. Roberson is married with two sons, ages two and seven months, and the newborn’s arrival has already altered more than a few things this year.
“When I say I’m not doing shows right now? Literally, I’m going to fly there, walk on stage, do the show, sign some CDs and I’m right back on the plane to tuck the kids in before bedtime,” he tells The Boombox. “No disrespect to the festival in any way. Doing the festival shows how important it is to me, but right now, like, I only took two shows this month.”
Before his family’s new addition, Roberson was locked in for up to 15 shows a month, and festivals had always been a major part of the crooner’s tour schedule — though this weekend will mark his first appearance at the One MusicFest, alongside Marsha Ambrosius, Big K.R.I.T., Slick Rick and a few other hip-hop and soul notables.
“You know what’s so funny? I literally don’t know who else is performing,” he tells us. “Most festivals that I go to, I’m partaking in the whole thing and watching all the artists perform. I love it because I’m a fan of music in general, so I love to watch a show from backstage, or see how another band incorporates and connects songs together.”
