Ladies and Gentlemen,

We love Ella Fitzgerald.

She continues to inspire us every time we hear her phenomenal voice.
And this morning she is featured on NPR.org. We are thrilled, and want to share it with you, too.

Click here to hear (ha!) the MARVELOUS Ella!!!

And Happy March 29th! :)

love,
Erin and Her Cello

You will be shocked at how much more music we are composing-- especially with the help of our new bow!!! (Thanks to Stephanie and Johnson Strings!)

We hope to see you at our shows this SPRING!

Oui, Oui!

Bisoux a tout le monde,

erin and my cello

Artists We Adore

2010-03-10T15:13:00.003-05:00

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.

Last Saturday in February = A-CELLO-RHUMBA!

2010-02-02T16:30:00.006-05:00

Oh My A-CELLO-RHUMBA!!! It's already February 2010?

Well, in that case-- we need to remind you that we have a show at the end of the month...at ROCKWOOD MUSIC HALL!
Save the date! SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27th, 7pm!

This show will feature:
Aya Kato on piano,
Christa Van Alstine on Clarinet,
Mike McCurdy on drums,
Anna Marquardt and Adam Enright singing backup vocals, and ... MORE!!!
(We like to have tricks up our cello pluckin' sleeves.)

We'd love to see you there. We love Rockwood, and we love our audience. :)
We don't, however, like it when the groundhog sees his shadow.

THANK YOU!!!
love,
erin and her cello

2010...and giving back!!!

2010-01-25T13:52:00.011-05:00

Happy New Year!!!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

It's been a while! We were so busy during the holiday season with our wonderful family and friends-- it was amazing! In fact, 2009 was amazing!? BAMCafe, Joe's Pub, StandUP NY Comedy Contests, a Rockwood Residency...! Wait a minute, the entire decade has been amazing...we started writing our own music... Yahoo!!!

Amidst all this amazement, we wanted to tell you about the work we do with Musicians on Call. Once a month, Erin and her Cello play in hospitals throughout NYC. It's our way of giving back. We have been given so much in our lives, that why not play for others who are stuck in hospital beds!??!

We are very excited because tonight we will be playing at the Mt. Sinai Kravis Kidzone TV! KidZone TV is the first live, interactive broadcast studio in a children's hospital in the world and offers live and pre-recorded programming for viewing within the hospital. Children in The Zone can participate in program production behind and in front of the cameras, learning new skills and sharing them with others. Those who are confined to their room can participate in a range of activities broadcast on KidZone TV, such as games shows and question and answer sessions with musicians, actors, magicians, and sports stars..." How do you like that! (Prior guests have included KT Tunstall and Magic Johnson!) We are going to take our loop pedal and hope that the kids will help us create a song...right on the spot! We are going to get them to shake their TINY BUNS! (hahaha inside E&HC joke!)

In addition to Musicians on Call, we'd also like to introduce you to another incredible healthcare foundation, Bach to Health! Eric Roter, M.D. (“E.R.”), a Board-Certified emergency room physician and Juilliard trained cellist decided to use his classically trained cello skills outside of the emergency room. He recreated his NYC street-playing experiences by merging his recently recorded videos of J.S. Bach’s masterpiece “Cello Suites” with his own videos of Manhattan. Each of the 36 videos focuses on specific medical conditions he personally encounters in the emergency room and each is dedicated to a top-rated health-care charity to be used as a 24/7 “benefit concert” on the internet. It is truly remarkable. Below you will find the Prelude of the First Bach Cello Suite in G Major, my all time favorite. Interestingly enough, Dr. Roter, or "E.R", dedicated this Prelude to Multiple Sclerosis. My amazing mom, Tonya Hall, has Multiple Sclerosis, and she handles it with dignity, beauty, and strength every single day. We'd like to thank Dr. Roter for giving back not only in the emergency room, but through his beautiful foundation, Bach to Health.

Thank you all for your support. We wish you a happy, healthy,...and hopefully hilarious!... 2010.

love,

Erin and Her Cello

We are throwing a Benefit/Show for our friend, Amber Vickers, who is traveling all the way from Boise, Idaho to NYC to see us play. :)

We decided that since Amber is so amazing, we want to do something special for her. Since the show at Rockwood is free(!)--we are going to donate our tips, and our cd/merch sales from the performance to the Lupus Foundation of America-- cuz Amber has Lupus, and quite frankly, it sucks! (Please visit http://www.lupus.org to find out what lupus is all about) And she continues to be her fabulous self, smiling through the continuous adventures that Lupus has taken her on.

We can't wait to put on a FABULOUS show for Amber...
but we need you all to come and make it even better!

Let's sing, dance, party, give some money to the Lupus Foundation of America...but more importantly,
let's CELEBRATE LIFE! with or without Lupus!!! :)

Merci to the New Directions Cello Festival!!!

This past weekend, my cello and I had the amazing opportunity of attending and participating in the New Directions Cello Festival in Ithaca, NY. A Festival devoted to the works of non-classical cello, the weekend consisted of workshops, collaboration, jamming and celebrating the oh-so-AMAZING instrument that we are so lucky to play-- the CELLO.

And what cellists we were able to play with!
Jody Redhage!
Claude LaMothe!
Rufus Cappadocia!
Stephen Katz!
Liz Davis Maxfield!
Stephanie Winters!
Corbin Keep!
And MORE!... (so many i can't remember every name/website...forgive me!)

Special Thanks to Chris White and Sera Smolen for all of the hard work they put into this festival, as well as the cello students at Ithaca College. We had a lovely time, and look forward to many amazing festivals to come. :)

and now we will just have to get ready for...JULY 3rd at Joe's Pub!

Great News!

2009-06-02T15:12:00.006-04:00

We WON the "Music is a Joke" contest at StandUp NY!

Unbeknownst to the contestents, what would have been the semi-finals suddenly became the finals. Our assignment was Harry Potter, and luckily I wrote a fun lil number called, "Seek the Snitch." It was highly indecipherable, which helped. As did my trusty bow.

:)

Yahoo, We Won!

St. Vincent Slays Me.

2009-05-24T10:45:00.002-04:00

I had the lovely, amazing opportunity of hearing St. Vincent LIVE last week, NPR loves them as much as I do, and I just have to make sure you all know how amazing they are. Click HERE to hear them live on NPR. :)

(However, I think the audience in NY was much quieter throughout her set. Screams yes-- but I don't recall as much chitter chatter.) I love NY!

No, this is not Irene. But we'd like to thank those of you that sent this little bit of information to us. Lee Redmond lost her nails in an automobile accident. I might have to add that driving a car is not suggested if you have the world's longest fingernails.

Also, they say that dog owners look like their dogs-- who knew that fingernails could look like their owners???
