Skerik

Eric Walton, known as Skerik, was born in Seattle and started playing saxophone at a young age. In the late 1980s, he was a member of the rock group sadhappy and, in the years that followed, crossed jazz, funk, punk and rock in projects such as Critters Buggin, Tuatara and Garage A Trois.

He played on Above, the Mad Season album released in 1995, and developed projects of his own, among them the Syncopated Taint Septet.
