Erich Munzner and Good Fortune
features an all-star cast of
musicians.
Erich Munzner's original songs,
cool, graveled voice and talent
on a guitar combine
with the likes of Rick Elliott,
former drummer for Walter Trout;
Hank Van Sickle,
bass player with John Mayall and
Bluesbreakers; and Kevin Cash,
bass player
extraordinaire. When they get
together to perform, it's a
world class concert
at a poor man's price in Sunset
Beach.
Sipping a beer, soda or
cocktail, you have to set it
down and do a reality check.
Does this music sound great
because you feel great, or is
the music really that
good? The answer is "B". The
music is that good.
We first heard Erich Munzner &
Good Fortune Band at the Chili
Cook-off in
Sunset Beach. The crowd was
sizeable, the chili pans were
empty, and
the band was jamming. Performing
some of their own original music
mixed
with popular favorites to the
Sunset Beach crowd made up of
celebs and
rockers, plus some average
people who live by the beach and
have no
regrets, was likely just another
gig for these seasoned
musicians. People
were talking loud over the band
if they could handle it,
laughing, smiling,
and a few even danced.
For those who think you can't
have a good time without paying
a song, you
are really missing out on one of
the area's best kept secrets.
Good Fortune
performs regularly in Sunset
Beach in unassuming bars and
restaurants,
Harpoon Harry's and Pelican
Isle, among others. If you drive
along Coast
Highway in Sunset Beach and
notice the spillover crowds
outside of Mother's,
J. King Neptune's and other
local favorites such as Harpoon
Harry's, stop
once and dive into the local
scene. Maybe you'll experience
some Good
Fortune of your own.
