Speaking of friends, I had the opportunity to play in San Diego in February with my dear friends from the band “The Tree Ring”. The songs turned out sounding very different from what they sound like. My friend, Jon made a recording of the life set. I’m offering up 2 of the songs from that set for download: Reaching Jefferson & Hay, Hay, Make a Wish & Turn Away. I’ve made players and download links for both so you can listen online or straight up download them. Copy the link below the players into your browser and it will start downloading.

Norman will be playing free concerts every Wednesday in April at the lovely Laurelthirst in SE Portland. The best part is that we get to share the stage with some great friends: The Vicious Kisses, Hungry Birds, Evan Way, Old Light, and Kelly Blair Bauman!
See you on Wednesdays!

This is one of the busy weeks. Tomorrow night’s concert with Marcy Playground, The Parson Redheads, and Mark Twain Indians should be epic to say the least.
On Thursday I’m flying out to San Diego to stay with my dear Friend Joel West, and watch his band “The Tree Ring’ play The Casbah. While I’m there, I’ll be playing a concert put on by Sezio.org at Habitat House. Check it out.

See you soon, San Diego.
I’m really looking forward to the trip south. See you there.
Cheers – Eric
Writing for album 3. I feel like we’re getting somewhere, refining the songs.
I was checking my email this morning and it just so happened that I had a wonderful email arrive into my box from my friend Matthew. Follow his photography website: BENT MOVEMENT, where you can find creations from his travels and life, including some photos he took at our recent Portland, OR concert at Mississippi Studios. Thanks Matthew and Kristina.
Listening to the new Sufjan record….so much echo, and underwater sounds galore.
