Ways To Engage With Me

LIVE SHOWS
Whether it’s a venue show or a house concert, I like to infuse my audiences with some good melodies, a few tales, and joy - all through original songs, old favourites, and even a silly kid track or two. Sprinkle that with some stories from a decently varied life, and we’ve got something that hopefully touches hearts, young and old. (I also still conduct orchestras time to time.)

What People Are Saying
“The music making was fantastic with Paetkau shaping the music with a balanced combination of sensitivity and dramatic flair.”
- Musical Toronto, John Terauds
“Eric is so amazing. Everyone was raving about his show, especially his voice. His sound is so velvety, smooth, and calming. A place to enjoy, let our minds wander and remember, lighting up souls along the way. That’s what Eric’s show is about. What a night. Thank you for lighting us all up!”
- Ellen Nasser, Recording Artist and House Concert Host
