Eric Drew Feldman Biography

Eric Drew Feldman is one of the most popular and richest Bassist who was born on April 16, 1955 in California, California, United States. He performed with singer Black Francis in two of Francis’ bands: the Pixies and Frank Black and the Catholics.

He was already an experienced keyboard player when he joined Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band in 1976, in which he also played bass. Like other members of the band, Feldman was expected to capture (on tape or notepad) Beefheart’s musical ideas. Once instrumental parts had been created, the band members had to play them exactly as composed: “I never had a problem with that. I felt like I was getting parts dictated to me from one of the best, especially when they were designed for me. You just feel like a model in a fashion show wearing a really nice dress, I guess.” During his time in the Magic Band, he was also given a nickname by Don, Black Jew Kitabu. Feldman worked on the acclaimed trio of Beefheart albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s that turned out to be the last of the Captain’s musical career, Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) (1978), Doc at the Radar Station (1980), and Ice Cream for Crow (1982).

In May 1984, Feldman collaborated with Steve LeGrand of the band Times Beach to compose and perform the score to Sam Shephard’s “The Tooth of Crime” in an acclaimed production at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

He was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.

He performed with PJ Harvey on several albums, including To Bring You My Love and White Chalk.
