New York City-based musician, producer and writer Mike Errico has
built his name on the strength of critically-acclaimed releases
Pictures of the Big Vacation, Tonight I Drink You All,
Skimming and All In. Errico’s rock-driven style
showcases sharp lyrics and soaring vocals, whether fronting a band or
playing in a solo acoustic setting.
Since his first major gig, a solo slot at Woodstock ’99, Errico has
shared the stage with artists including Jonny Lang, Guster, Soulive,
Bob Weir, Rusted Root, Dido, North Mississippi Allstars, Ari Hest,
Longwave, Keller Williams, Jonatha Brooke, Dan Bern, Dar Williams and
many others.
Errico has written dozens of TV theme songs, most notably VH1’s hit
series Pop Up Video. He has contributed composition and
performance to shows including Monday Night Football, MTV’s
Band in a Bubble and It’s a Mall World, My Coolest
Years [VH1], Maxim’s Swimsuit Issue DVD series, Blender
magazine’s SXSW and Lollapalooza coverage and Peeping Toms and
First Impressions [Comcast VOD]. Other shows include It’s a
Zoo Out There, Hollywood Makeout Party, The Truth
About, Talkshow U.S.A., The Baby Taddie Show and
Hollywood Peep Show. Selections from his discography have been
used in feature films including 2006’s Where We Are Now and
2007’s Puccini for Beginners.
In addition to his musical career, Errico worked as Senior Online
Editor for Blender magazine from 2006–2008. He has
conducted interviews with major figures in music and pop culture, and
covered music technology and national music festivals including
Lollapalooza, South By Southwest, Ozzfest, Bonnaroo and CMJ. He has
also lectured on songwriting and the music industry at Yale University
and Berklee College of Music.
Errico’s independent spirit, combined with his observations on the
current state of music, inspired him to form Tallboy 7, the company
that provides a home for his creative work.

REVIEWS
"All In is wonderful. Errico manages to get more sophisticated, more bare-bones, more subtle, and more ballsy all at the same time. An amazing thing." – The New Yorker
"Slicing electrics and woozy lap steel propel his strongest songwriting yet, and frame a voice that has never sounded better." – STUFF
"...Alterna-tinged rock rife with creative melodies and arrangements that grow on you like the ivy at Wrigley Field." – Bullz-Eye.com
"Errico shreds styles with punk attitude. A fluid singer, he should appeal to fans of writers who lay their hearts bare, but rub a little salt in the wound to make it sting." – New York Times
"Errico cranks out punchy power chords over efficient, well-written tracks." – CMJ
"Errico balances addictive rock melodies with stinging lyrics that always make sure you're listening to what he has to say." – Maxim
First single "Run" Featured Alt-Rock Track – Artist Direct
Recommended CD, Summer 2007 – Paste
“His strong guitar riffs and R&B tinged voice will get your attention and pull you in.”  – MAXIM magazine
“[Mike] belongs to the younger generation, shredding styles with punk attitude. A fluid singer also influenced by soul and hip hop, he should appeal to fans of writers who lay their hearts bare, but rub a little salt in the wound to make it sting.” – New York Times
