Eric "Eroc" Sosinski

As one of Northeast Ohio’s hardest-working rock & roll bassist/vocalists since 1987, Eric Sosinski, known by the nickname of ‘Eroc’ to his friends & fans, has performed over 5,000 gigs in a 38-year career with some of Ohio’s highest-profile bands, including national recording artist Michael Stanley & The Resonators, and the popular regional Pink Floyd tribute Wish You Were Here. He continues to perform an average of 170 dates a year, with his long-running acoustic duo as well as Wish You Were Here, and other tribute acts such as Harvest - Neil Young Tribute and Sugar Magnolia - Grateful Dead Tribute.

The John Carroll University graduate also juggled a 20-year career in Cleveland radio including popular stations WNCX, WERE, & The End, from 1987 to 2007.  It was through his tenure at WNCX where he became friends with Ohio music icon Michael Stanley, who hired Eroc as his bass player, without an audition, in 1993. For the next 27 years until Michael’s final show in 2020, Eroc performed live alongside Stanley and members of MSB in Ghost Poets, Michael Stanley & Friends, The Resonators and side project Midlife Chryslers, as well as appearing on over a dozen of Stanley’s studio and live national releases.

Eroc is the leader of Wish You Were Here, which originated in 1987 as Harvest Pink Floyd Revue in Cleveland, and is the longest continually-performing Pink Floyd tribute act in the world, as well as America’s largest Pink Floyd stage production. Other bands and artists he has performed and recorded with include Fayrewether, Tie-Dye Harvest, Anne DeChant, Austin Walkin’ Cane, Colin Dussault, Hammered, and Mike Onesko’s Blindside Blues Band.
