It's been a great year for music. I took a nice little break from booking to recover from a broken foot (ouchies) and to concentrate on making my new record. But I'm back. And I'm gettin geared up for another year at SXSW music festival in Austin, TX! For those who aren't familiar, it's an all out musical martigras that spans the gap of rookies like myself to the real heavy hitters like last years Emmylou Harris, Jack White, and even Kanye West. It was amazing. I brought along my best gal pal and songbird Gentry Monreal to sing harms and in general keep me in line; what with all the partying in the streets and everywhere in between. We basically walked around with our jaws on the ground stunned by the intensity. We were a couple of small town big fish turned minnows in a sea of great whites. We're looking forward to another great trip with last years experience under our belts. You can expect us to be a little more chumpy, like sophmores on their first day back to high school.
I've got another show or two between now and when we leave so stay tuned and come see me in La before I go. Visit www.erinmclaughlinmusic.com for more details!
