Eric Gabriel is a songwriter, pianist, and producer from New York City. His upcoming album, Lucky Day Roadrunner (May 2026), was recorded in Brooklyn with Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Florist). Recorded with full live takes, Gabriel’s music recalls classic rock and soul records from 70s and pulls from the feeling and songwriting of artists like Bill Withers, John Prine, and Sly and the Family Stone. His first full length release, Samara, was self-released in 2025 and spent 5 weeks on the NACC 200 Radio Chart.

Prior to releasing his independent albums, Gabriel got his start in the indie-soul band Melt. He founded Melt in 2017 when he was 18 years old and quickly rose to viral success with their first single “Sour Candy.” Gabriel then studied literature at Georgetown University, leaving on weekends to tour with the “groovy superorganism” across the country (NPR). Gabriel left the group shortly after they released their first album “If There’s A Heaven” (produced by Sam Evian) in 2024 and now works out of his Brooklyn recording studio Little Lot.
