“Who’s Erick?”

Erick Fayard is a storyteller at heart - whether he’s holding a microphone, a guitar, or a simple cup of gas-station coffee on a Texas highway. Raised on southern grit, LSU football, and the kind of dreams that never quite fit inside a small town, Erick built a life out of chasing the things that make people feel something.

He’s lived more than one lifetime already: a former sports anchor and television journalist who spent years covering games, players, and the unpredictable pulse of live TV. But long after the red lights turned off, he became the guy in the corner with a notebook and a guitar - learning to write songs about the way people love, lose, hope, and get back up again.

Today, he’s a working musician, performer, and songwriter, carving out a path that looks nothing like the rulebook says it should. Erick plays stages across Texas and beyond, but he’s also the guy who sits down with strangers at the bar after the show and leaves with a new friend and a new story. He’s spent years in dive bars, fancy rooms, airports, backroads, and green rooms - collecting moments, mistakes, and miracles, then turning them into songs that feel lived-in and honest.

But underneath everything, he’s still just a dude who loves late-night hangs, long drives, meaningful conversations, and making people laugh. A dude who’s failed forward more than once. A dude who keeps going. A dude who genuinely believes that there’s magic left in ordinary days if you look closely enough.

Erick Fayard isn’t defined by one job or one chapter - he’s defined by curiosity, courage, reinvention, and the unshakable belief that dreams aren’t supposed to make sense… they’re supposed to make you come alive.
