Erik Rabasca is a recording and performing artist, songwriter, producer, and founder of the independent label Highest Frequency Records — moving fluidly between folk, funk, indie, jazz, reggae, and soul with an experimentalist’s restlessness and free improvisers’ search for meaning over the past 20 years, weaving multiple styles into something entirely his own songwriting. His forthcoming album New Scrolls (June 2026) marks another turn in his career — a deep dive into country folk & swing and Americana where a classic roadhouse vibe meets the town hall, with the lyrical soul of his influences intact and the playing as alive as ever.

His lyrics carry the observational depth of Dylan, the spiritual grounding of Marley, and the plainspoken heart of John Prine, while his instrumental voice draws from the soulful melodicism of Dickey Betts and the atmospheric sweep of David Gilmour. Indie blog Pitch Perfect captured it well: “Rabasca doesn’t sing from a soapbox, but rather from the same even ground on which we all stand. His lyrics are astute observations brought pleasantly into the light, showing them for what they are and asking others to see what he saw.”
