For those of you that could not attend, we missed you! ! !  We were also missing backup hottie Mr. Adam Enright, as he is currently crowned HEDWIG in Boise Contemporary Theater's SOLD OUT production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. (Small world!) Luckily, the lovely Amber Gray joined Madison on backup vocals,  so that we could continue to have our sweet harmonies. Thank goodness Monday just so happens to be DARK for the Broadway// Theater world. :) (As Amber Gray is starring in The Great Comet!)  

We had so much fun playing for you. And it's so exciting, as our set lists are growing and changing with NEW MUSIC... and some oldies for good times. We're so grateful. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for YOUR LOVELY SUPPORT! and SAVE THE DATE! 

We have performances coming up on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28th, AND WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30th! ! ! happy halloween'r !  ! ! love, erin

WE GOT TO MEET MISS SHARON JONES ! ! !

A few weekends ago,  I had an extremely rare opportunity to see the documentary film, Miss Sharon Jones, at Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn. For those of you that do not yet know Miss Sharon Jones-- PLEASE, PLEASE start listening A.S.A.P. to Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. (!!!)   I'm a huge fan of theirs, so is President Obama, and yet-- I keep "forgetting to get tickets" * (like some of you might understand...hint* hint* wink, wink) as I've heard she is an INCREDIBLE LIVE PERFORMER-- even referred to as a "Female James Brown." (!!!)   Their music is so much FUN, and so beautiful-- but, I have also heard that Sharon has been battling Pancreatic Cancer.

I assumed that the film would be about Sharon, the Dap-Kings, their amazing tours, recordings, songwriting, rehearsals, performances-- the "ROCK STAR LIFE" (those HORNS!)-- however,  it was much bigger than that. It was about an incredible human being, standing at 4' 11",  fighting for her strength, her music, her band, and her life.  

To make the screening that much sweeter, THE Sharon Jones was there, SHE answered questions after the film, she had the entire movie theater soaring to their feet and sending her as much love and strength as we could! We were a collective audience in love and support, and I know she felt it. We all did.  

SO, I'm sending LOVE & STRENGTH TO MISS SHARON JONES ! ! ! 

I'm also sending LOVE & STRENGTH to any and ALL of you that might be hurting right now. 
I'm sending LOVE to all of you that SUPPORT the arts.
I'm sending LOVE to all of you that are reading this post! 

LIFE is not easy, but when we have LOVE... 

                      See! She's amazingly petite! I'm bending my knees!!! ;) 

                      See! She's amazingly petite! I'm bending my knees!!! ;) 

Thank you, Miss Sharon Jones. Thank you, Barbara Kopple. Thank you, wonderful Dap-Kings.  Thank you, Daptone Records and the Management Team for Miss Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.  KEEP ROCKIN' ! ! ! And Miss Sharon? You have already beat Cancer once--  YOU GOT THIS ! ! !                                         love, erin and my cello

* See you at the Kings Theater in December!!!

Woohoo-- we got a REVIEW ! ! ! :)

Sweet Cello Lovin' Peeps ! ! ! Our last show in September at Rockwood Music Hall received a REVIEW! ! ! Thank you to Angelo Santoro for their photos and REVIEW of our SHOW!!! 

PLEASE CLICK THE PHOTO ABOVE TO TAKE YOU TO THE REVIEW... until then... a lil excerpt:

"Hall (along with her curls that matched the scroll of her cello!)then had some signature fun with the audience during the solo portion of the show. Her contagious laugh, witty banter and quirky personality on full display, she grabbed the audience with “Pro” and “Cicada”."

"Erin and Her Cello will take you on the journey you’re looking for provided your enthusiasm matches theirs! They’ll be hitting Rockwood Music Hall again on Monday,October 24th and Wednesday, November 30th, so be sure to check them out and give yourself a true musical escape, laughter and a smile that will last..."
