Ooooweeee It's Spring!

And we have LOTS of SHOWS this SPRING!!!

Mark your calendars:
Monday, April 19th, 8pm at The Delancey:

Small Beast Music Salon Featuring
BAD REPUTATION (The Brassens Project),
David Nagler,

& Erin and her Cello!

On va surement chanter en francais pour ce spectacle!

(yes, we will sing our french chansons.)

Then, we're thrilled to announce that we will be performing

another residency at Rockwood Music Hall!

You will be able to catch us, along with the most wonderful musicians,

EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY!

7pm Sharp! (Friday May 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th!)

Seeing as how we have lots of time between now and then, we're working very hard on new songs, as well as taking cello lessons with the beautiful cellist, Stephanie Winters. In fact! 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,

love,

erin and my cello

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.

Last Saturday in February = A-CELLO-RHUMBA!

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

Turkey Time!
