Eric Hutchinson’s new album, Repeating Myself is a joyous return to the

piano pop and singer-songwriter soul that first hooked fans of his debut

album, Sounds Like This. Full of feel-good, upbeat tracks, Repeating

Myself, might make you think of Billy Joel or Stevie Wonder, but honestly -

it sounds like vintage Eric Hutchinson. He even jokes, "The number one

influence for these new songs was... myself."

This whole "return to form" idea thing began when Eric was on tour

celebrating the 15th anniversary of Sounds Like This (the one with hits like

"Rock & Roll" and "Ok, It’s Alright With Me"). Playing those early songs was

a wake-up call. “I’m different from when I wrote those songs, and it felt like

someone else had made them," Eric recalls. "I loved how immediate and

raw they were. I decided to try writing songs like that person again.”

The result? A collection of catchy, danceable, energetic instant-classics that

are totally Hutchinsonian. “King of Philadelphia" is a bouncing, soulful funk

tune where Eric uses his dry wit to roast the ridiculous cost of city living.

Fans can also groove to “Anything You Need,” a neo-Motown duet with

Tess Henley about total devotion, dance to the rhythmic, Latin-inspired "Tell

The Truth”, and let their toe tap to “Naturally”, Eric’s ode to patience and

creativity.

To celebrate his first new album in four years, Eric’s hitting the road in 2026

for the Repeating Myself Tour. The setlist will be a perfect mix: the new

songs, pop anthems like "Tell The World," "A Little More," and "Dear Me”,

and the Sounds Like This tracks that started it all. You can count on every

night being packed with soulful music, dynamic vocals, and Eric’s

trademark dry humor and storytelling. Basically, don't miss it.
