Eric Haines in Everett is a one-man band.
Literally, he is that guy that you see fairs and festivals wearing and playing several musical instruments. But when the pandemic shut down all events and public gatherings, Eric's contracts were cancelled.
Eric saw online how people in Italy were singing to each other from their balconies to have that sense of community during this lockdown.
We don't have balconies, but Eric liked the idea of music and song bringing people together.
So Eric strapped on all his instruments and hit the streets in Everett and the people in the neighborhood loved it
Eric said his job is to have fun and lift people’s spirits- you have to see him walk down the street with all the kids parading behind him.
