YOU’VE REACHED THE ONLINE HOME OF ERIC KIEFER, WORDSMITH AND TROUBADOUR. GRAB A BEER AND COME ON IN!
Eric Kiefer is an award-winning wordsmith, a modern-day troubadour and a 15-year factotum. You can learn more about his writing, music and more here.
Apparently, the dude has a way with words. His debut novel “The Soft Exile” was named as one of the “Books We Loved in 2012.” Meanwhile, his journalism has earned half a dozen New Jersey Press Association awards and a New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists award.
Eric Kiefer is also the author of “Your Seed For The Moon,” a one-shot graphic novel with artist Carlo Boirard.
Kiefer is a unique and entertaining musician who specializes in a one-man-band, singer-songwriter style of performance. He’s appeared at events and venues such as the Purple Moon Pub in Vermont, the Red Light Café in Atlanta and the 1st Rutherford Anti-War Rally in New Jersey.
The troubadour’s discography includes his funk-folk tinged debut album, “The Spectre and the Dozer,” and a toe-tapping collection of oddities, “Life Is Soup. I’m A Fork.” His works also include the zombie concept album, “The New Zeitgeist: Songs From The Zombie Apocalypse” and its accompanying e-book, “The New Zeitgeist: A Tale From The Zombie Apocalypse.”
Kiefer’s additional projects include his poetry/music mashup, “Spoken Word For The Doomed.”
The wordsmith and troubadour is equally as proud of more than a decade of blue-collar work experience, which includes jobs at almost a dozen local gas stations, fast food joints and supermarkets, as well as stints as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer, a mall Christmas elf, a highway road flagger, a kennel attendant and a pancake-house waiter.
