Eric Hagen is a powerhouse in modern americana, bringing grit, soul, and storytelling to the stage with a voice that stops time. Based in the midwest, Hagen‘s sound is rooted in classic country, steeped in blues, and brushed with gospel depth — often described as if he wiretapped the soul of a timeless jukebox. His songs hum with the dust and ache of a well-traveled road, painting vivid portraits of heartache, hope, and the spaces in between. From the haunting beauty of “Accuse Me,” praised by Glide Magazine as “moving soul meets twangy bliss,” to the aching honesty of “Americana Lonesome,” he delivers every lyric with conviction and cinematic depth.
With a growing list of accolades, including multiple Josie Music Awards nominations, a midwest CMA nod for male vocalist of the year, and an unsigned only honorable mention — Hagen has earned recognition as one of the most compelling emerging voices in americana. He's also a three-time international songwriting competition semi-finalist and a 2024 WAMI awards nominee. Hagen has shared the stage with artists such as Sunny Sweeney and Pat MacDonald (Timbuk 3), holding his own with a stage presence as commanding as his vocals.
Now signed to Young Outlaw Music - YOM, Eric Hagen is gearing up to release his highly anticipated album, Make Country Sad Again, with major distribution through Virgin / Universal Music Group. With this release, he's not just carrying on the tradition of country heartbreak — he's redefining it. From his upcoming album, which set to release in October 2025, Eric Hagen presents the songs ”Giving You Up” and ”Red Ramblin’ Rose.” Stay Tuned!
