One of the bands that profited from Eric's support is Voicst, which he aired on any occasion for a long period of time on his radio shows.

Eric Corton is co-initiator of Cortonville,[3] a live music platform for Dutch musicians, including albumreviews, interviews, reports, backgrounds, concertregistrations.

Cortonville also organizes music events and small tours, in which new and coming bands are often given a change to display themselves to bigger audiences they would have had by their own power.

He wrote down a lifetime of stories, following the cars he then possessed, suitably dubbed ‘Eric Corton: Auto-Biography’, which was released in 2013.
