Eric Heideman @ Continental Club

Catch a late-night blast of modern blues when guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Eric Heideman takes the stage at the legendary Continental Club on May 29, 2026 at 11:45 p.m.

• Blues with serious pedigree: Eric may only be 27, but his résumé already reads like a seasoned road dog. Originally from Salt Lake City and now based in Austin, he’s been personally requested to open shows for heavyweights like ZZ Top, Walter Trout, and Mike Zito, proving that the pros know serious talent when they hear it.
• Festival favorite: Heideman has been a featured performer at the Utah Blues Fest three years running (2022, 2023, and 2024), bringing his mix of traditional blues, soul, and Americana to big festival stages. In 2025, he carried that momentum to high-profile spots at SXSW and the Durango Blues Train, where he won over crowds with fiery guitar work and deeply felt vocals.
• Third Degree Gravity grooves: This show is a perfect chance to hear tracks from his breakout album, “Third Degree Gravity,” live and loud. Co-produced with Grammy-nominated keyboard powerhouse Victor Wainwright and International Blues Challenge winner JW-Jones, the record dives into themes of isolation, hope, and resilience, riding a tight groove that swings from traditional blues to funk and rootsy Americana.
• Intimate club, big sound: The Continental Club’s famously up-close vibe makes it easy to latch onto every bend, slide, and vocal shout. Expect a set that moves from slow-burning, late-night blues to energetic, dance-ready shuffles, with plenty of guitar fireworks and soulful improvisation along the way.
• Why you’ll want to be there:
  • A rising blues artist at the top of his game, playing in his adopted hometown.
  • Live renditions of songs from “Third Degree Gravity,” crafted with an all-star studio team.
  • A late-night start time that practically guarantees a loose, high-energy, after-hours feel.
  • The chance to say you saw him in an intimate room before he graduates to much bigger stages.
• Vibes checklist: smoky guitar tones, soulful vocals, a rhythm section that keeps the room moving, and the kind of blues that feels both classic and current.

If you’re craving a night of serious musicianship, rich songwriting, and the kind of blues that hits both the heart and the hips, Eric Heideman at the Continental Club is a must-catch late-night set.
