Eric Martin (Mr. Big)

Eric Martin is solo artist who also sang with Mr. Big for years.  With Mr. Big he had a #1 hit with "To Be With You".  Lots of great stories in this episode including playing pool with Bon Scott,  touring with Rush, hiding from Journey in a closet, an offer to audition for Rainbow, playing on the Iron Eagle soundtrack, and lots of ball busting! One of my favorite interviews ever! 0:00:00 - Intro0:00:40 - Eric's Curiosity with My Wall0:02:10 - Posters at the Fillmore for Mr. Big & Y&T0:03:30 - Tour Book with Rush 0:05:45 - Bay Area Music Award0:07:25 - In the Closet & Journey 0:09:00 - Steve Perry & the Journey  Demo 0:13:47 - Michael Bolton 0:14:45 - Backgrounds 0:15:53 - Geoff Tate & Aavantasia 0:21:50 - Fire Beast 0:24:18 - Stark Raving Mad & Paul Taylor0:28:03 - Mr. Big Songs & Sniglets 0:31:18 - Opening for AC/DC0:34:35 - Iron Eagle & Vision Quest Soundtracks 0:39:55 - Making Money & Music Business 0:45:15 - Upcoming Tour & Show Dates 0:49:47 - Project with Warren DeMartini 0:51:15 - Steve Lukather & Toto0:52:30 - Asked to Audition for Rainbow 0:54:05 - Perseverance & Mr. Big0:56:52 - Lean In To It Album0:58:00 - Trapped in Toyland  & Colorado Bulldog 1:05:02 - Mr. Big Switching Instruments  1:08:30 - Bucket List w/ John Mayer 1:10:46 - Letterman Show & Jimi Hendrix 1:12:57 - Joe Montana 1:15:53 - Research & Podcasts1:17:35 - Chris Jericho & Ballbusting Threads 1:22:43 - Goodwill & Gig Clothes1:24:25 - More Ball Busting1:26:09 - Outro Eric Martin website:https://ericmartin.comGoodwill website:https://www.goodwill.org/Chuck Shute website:http://chuckshute.comSupport the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!
