Hello! Happy Humid NYC Heat!?!

 In case you were unable to attend our show at the 54/10 Music Marathon at Ars Nova in July,  we have some SWEET photos to show you what you missed...not to mention a great write up! 

From  One Louder Photo.com: (To view the original article & photographs, please click here.)

          "If you’ve never heard Erin and Her Cello, you’re missing out on some of the funniest stuff out there. Seriously, I almost spit my beer out of my nose and onto my camera – twice. The thing that makes Erin’s show ridiculously entertaining isn’t her backup singers/dancers, her songs about Duane Reade counter clerks with grotesquely long fingernails, or her perfectly delivered stage banter, it’s that all of the above combine to give you some sort of lovably twisted Mr. Rogers-style children’s show where Mr. Rogers unzips his face and turns into a cute curly-haired cello player who swills wine on stage and embarrasses the children in the audience during commercial breaks...Be sure to check Erin out..."

Artists We Adore

We adore Omara Portuondo. (And had we not had a gig on February 27th at Rockwood Music Hall, we would have definitely seen the beautiful Omara at Town Hall.) This Tiny Desk Concert, however, makes us very happy.
