Hello, it’s March!

Boy, February just blew by, with barely a moment to come up for air... We were busier than any month over the past two years, and that’s a good thing! We’re very thankful to be getting out playing shows again, now that (it seems like) the pandemic is slowing down, and it’s been great to make some plans and to see some of you in person.

You may have noticed that our livestream concert didn’t happen last month – our schedule was so packed I decided to move it to Wednesday, March 16th at 8pm (EST). I hope you can make it! Here’s the Facebook event!

We have quite a few cool east coast shows coming up over the next couple months, so check out our Show Highlights below, and make sure to check out our full schedule if you’re not in those areas. Anddd, we also have some very exciting news coming up – summer festivals and tour plans – to be announced soon! Stay tuned!!

Peace on earth, and good music & love to all! 🇺🇦✌️❤️🎶

xo,

Erin

PS. Here’s a pic of the very silly cat of our recent hosts in Vermont! (Yes, she decided the most comfy spot was the dish drain...🤣)

I wanted to share some more good news, which just seems to keep coming in lately. ;) In the midst of a busy week and weekend of shows, I found out I've been nominated for “Blues Artist of the Year” by the Boston Music Awards! (The Delta Swingers actually won it back in 2014, but this time it's just little ole’ me.) Anyway, after our recent NEMA “Album of the Year” win, it's a really nice surprise to be nominated again (along with so many talented friends) for a BMA! You made the difference last time, so, I'm hoping for your help again...

I would love your vote!

Just like last time, you can help decide the winner – we did it last time with the New England Music Awards... So, if you have a minute, cast your vote! (Thanks! Cross your fingers!!)

VOTE NOW AT:
BostonMusicAwards.com/vote

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your votes & support!

Voting ends Friday, December 3rd. And once again, wish me luck, I'll need it!
