Researched musician profile
About Eric Shifrin
AFM Local 6 identifies Shifrin as a jazz pianist, vocalist, and composer who has performed steadily in the Bay Area since 1993. Its member profile presents The In Crowd as a trio that can expand with additional instrumentalists and vocals for particular engagements.[1]
Shifrin’s artist-run Bandcamp dates his move to San Francisco to 1992 and records a Fairmont Hotel house-piano engagement from 1999 through 2013. That dated account avoids carrying the older AFM page’s present-tense venue language into a permanent profile.[2]
The catalog ranges from the piano-vocal trio collection Souvenir Edition to solo sets devoted to Gershwin, ragtime, and Shifrin’s own archive. Each release keeps its format and personnel separate, providing a direct route through both ensemble and solo work.[2][3]
