Everlast - Europe 2027

Roots-rock and rap by House of Pain frontman

Erik Francis Schrody, better known by his stage name Everlast, is an Irish-American rapper, songwriter and singer. As the frontman of the hip-hop collective House of Pain, he made his breakthrough in the early 1990s with the track ‘Jump Around’, which was nominated for a Grammy Award, before going on to explore the boundaries between rap, blues and rock as a solo artist. His collaboration with Santana, for instance, earned him a Grammy Award in 2000 for ‘Put Your Lights On’. He has also worked with a wide range of artists over the years, including Ice-T and Cypress Hill.

After an eight-year hiatus, Schrody is now back with ‘Embers to Ashes’, his eighth album, produced by rapper Yelawolf. The album is a blend of Americana, blues and roots rock, with that characteristic hip-hop touch still evident here and there. With the sharpness of a rapper and the emotion of a blues singer, he looks back on a life full of highs and lows across seventeen poignant tracks.

In February, Everlast returns to Paradiso after a ten-year absence. A great opportunity to see this phenomenon perform live once again, and to discover the latest chapter in his multifaceted career.
