In March 2005, Eric Pasquerau released his first album, Lay your soul bare, under the now famous title: The Patriotic Sunday. The world discovered the compelling pop/folk of this 22 year old songwriter, who spent his childhood in Oklahoma.
Founder and guitarist/singer of the group Paper Tiger, he performed over 250 concerts around the world over 3 years. Now with The Patriotic Sunday, Eric Pasquerau, though never departing from his first love, folk, has evolved today to pen more orchestrated compositions, showing a rare delicacy and emotional force.

Discography
The return of Eric Pasquerau aka The Patriotic Sunday ! After 4 years of absence and the album Lay your soul bare - joyous folk pop with thrilling intimacy - The Patriotic Sunday, unwilling to follow the oft-repeated formula – that of a singer with an acoustic guitar – today surrounds himself with many musician friends to create Characters.
The first songs were written solo then transformed into a group with Jonathan Seilman (This Melodramatic Sauna), Pierre Antoine Parois, and Arthur de la Grandière (of Papier Tigre) and were recorded throughout the summer of 2007 with Miguel Constantino, in the family home.
Characters mixes Elliot Smith, Modest Mouse and David Grubbs to name a few. The name dropping is endless here so the album’s diversity of sounds and atmospheres is incredibly rich.
The lyrics are all multiple personalities and characters condensed into a single person, hence the album title. In short, mild schizophrenia coloured with humour, to mask the emptiness of a life without risk.
