Eric Schwartz (Eric "Red" Schwartz) is an American folk singer-songwriter and musical satirist known for his often humorous, sexually explicit lyrics, as in the songs "Clinton Got A Blowjob" and "Who Da Bitch Now". His video, "Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis" has been downloaded over a million times. He cites Dr. Demento as an inspiration.[1] He graduated from Tufts University with a degree in biology and worked as an actor and guitarist, before moving to Greenwich Village to begin his songwriting career. He has played several times at the Kerrville Folk Festival and was a finalist in the songwriting contest in 2001. He was a winner of the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase.

Schwartz's live performances include appearances at The Bottom Line in New York, Bluebird Café in Nashville, and Club Passim in Cambridge (Massachusetts). During Covid-19 restrictions, Schwartz took part in the virtual Hard Luck Café concert series held in partnership with the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, New York.[2]
