Upcoming Shows:
(As always, more info, maps, etc, are always available at the "Shows" link at my website ...)
Artist Blends Cafe, Fort Worth: March 10, 8 pm
I'll be playing all evening here at the "Coffeehouse Stage." This will be a classic solo show, and I'll break out all your old favorite Eric songs. Since it's over in FW, it may be a tad far for some folks...but please tell you friends who may live close!
Here's what the Artistic Blends Website has to say about itself:
"Artistic Blends is a wonderful mixture of entertainment, and the arts wrapped in a classic gourmet coffeehouse. The elegant décor and fine art, theater and entertainment make Artistic Blends a place like nowhere else. Come and see for yourself!"
Living Legacy: A Tribute to Dan Fogelberg: March 31, 7 pm (Spring Valley
UMC)
This is a show I'm very excited about. As many of you know, I am a huge Dan Fogelberg fan from waaay back. I used to joke that I could easily be reincarnated as him because I already knew all his songs. However, I've met a friend, Rusty King, who knows even more Fogelberg songs than I do!! Rusty has assembled an amazing group of musicians...more than twenty of them....who will all gather to play two sets of Fogelberg music. The show is a benefit for UMCOR.
There will be five of us trading off on lead vocals....four guitarists....a small string section....a small brass section...bass, drums, percussion...I mean it's going to be amazing. So, if you're wondering about our ability to actually pull off such production, never fear....a lot of the songs will sound just like the record.
Among other folks, the evening will feature Cornell Kinderknecht on flutes and woodwinds (Playing on much of the "Tim Weisberg" parts...) Cornell was recently nominted by TexasMusic.com for Musician of the Year.
Mark your calendar now. And stop by my blog and read the long entry about Dan Fogelberg that I wrote there recently....it talks more about my love for Dan, the set list, and the songs I'll be singing lead on, and more.
The rehearsals have been fun. The show will be a lot of fun too.
When EF Talks Blog:
Speaking of my blog....have you visited there lately? I've been blogging quite a bit, and it's a really easy way to keep up with what's going on with me, or to hear my thoughts about music, religion, politics, etc...everything you're not "supposed" to talk about.
You can get there directly by clicking here. Or, you can always find it by going through the website link.
Visit the blog often...I think you'll like what you read there. And please be sure to leave me some "comments."
That's it for now. I'll post a reminder with more information about the "Living Legacy" show as it draws closer. I'll also be playing Beanstock in April, and the NDSM Benefit in May, along with some other shows still in other words....stay tuned.
Hope everyone's world is peaceful and fulfilling,
Eric Folkerth
