Wow, I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had a chance to sit back and reflect. And I really haven’t been blogging! The new band I started earlier this year – Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers – has been having all kinds of good luck, opportunities have opened up and now we’re going to Memphis to represent Boston in the International Blues Challenge! There was a lot of work that went into getting our show arranged and our set cut down to the right amount of time (20 minutes in the prelims, 16 minutes in the finals!) And now that we won we’ve had to get our picture taken (!) which we actually did ourselves at my house using a tripod (see pic). We had to get our official application in to the festival down in Memphis. And we’ve had lots of new friends and fans at all the shows we’ve been playing. We played a show at the House of Blues opening for Honeyboy Edwards, and now we’ve been given the opportunity to open for James Cotton at the Regent Theater Friday November 5th in Arlington. It really has been quite a whirlwind! I’ll fill you in more later about what’s been going on. Right now I need to get ready for my Delta Swingers show tonight at Johnny D’s opening for the Stone River Boys from Austin! We go on at 7:45pm! And if you’re on the Lovewhip list I’m about to send out an email about our Halloween costume party at Bishop’s Lounge this Friday night! Busy week… more later!
