Happy Summer darlin’s!
 
Lots of great things happening here in the land of the Delta Swingers, and I'm very excited to share it all with you! Including our recent Granite State Blues Challenge win, new members, new YouTube Channel, summer tour dates, and my upcoming guitar DVD!

Memphis here we come!!! We recently entered the Granite State Blues Challenge in Manchester NH and WON! Woohoo! There's a great rundown of the night by one of the judges, Rob Azevedo, click here to read “Fishnet Blues”. We're goin' to Memphis, baby! Stay tuned for more on the lead-up to our upcoming trip down south to compete in the International Blues Challenge, representing the Granite State Blues Society (early next year)!

Introducing... If you've been out to see us lately maybe you've already met Matt and/or Kendall. “Matt Charles” Prozialeck joined us on harp last summer, and ended up relocating to Boston from Chicago to tour with us full-time. And Kendall Divoll is the new guy behind the drums with the cool hat, hailing from Western MA. The band has been rockin' and getting rave reviews – we can't wait for you to experience our new line-up!

Subscribe to our NEW YouTube Channel! We've got a brand spanking new YouTube Channel!!! Subscribe now! We'll be featuring all kinds of fun video content, from live show footage, to music and lyric videos, to behind the scenes videos. There's already some cool stuff there – so make sure to subscribe today so you don't miss anything!
 
Delta Blueswomen DVD's! In between gigs, I've been working on something pretty exciting, especially for those aspiring finger-picking blues guitarists out there: I'll be recording a guitar DVD, which will be coming out through Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop! It's going to be on Women of the Delta Blues, and will be a selection of different artists including my favorite – Memphis Minnie, queen of the delta blues! Should be released by the holidays!

Summer tour! We've got a busy summer coming up, full of all kinds of shows, from the East Coast out to the Midwest, from nightclubs to festivals and outdoor events, so check out our schedule below for details, and...

..hope to see you out there soon!
xoxo,
Erin & the boys
