...and her name is Erin Umstead, up and coming singer/songwriter.  Once you hear her lovely voice and mature songwriting, I know you'll be a fan just like I am.  She just released her first EP "Norway" which you can check out at her website:  http://erinumstead.bandcamp.com/.  I'm so excited to have her open the show!

Well, the semester break is upon us, and as promised, I have a show lined up at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt for Sunday, January 22nd AND a new song uploaded to the website. Another one of the snow songs, "Supposed To Fly,"  has been professionally recorded and produced (Thank you, Blake Althen and Human Factor Productions) and uploaded for your listening and downloading pleasure (check the music page).

And about the show!  By now the New Deal Cafe needs no introduction - you know about the wonderful listening environment and fantastic Lebanese food.  In addition, I have a surprise guest artist who will be performing a set of their own original music.  But I can't give that all away in one news entry - you'll have to stay tuned!

In other news, I was stung by a paper wasp this afternoon.  I'd never seen one before.  I thought it was a firefly.  Oops.

And for interested parties in the Northern Virginia area, THIS SATURDAY NIGHT (how's that for short notice?  :-)  I will be playing the March of Dimes Charity Open Mic at Caffe Amouri in Vienna, VA.  It runs from 7 to 10 PM, and although I don't have much control over such things, I will be aiming to play between 8 and 9 PM.  Also, since I've been gone so long, I promise to take a request for at least one of the songs in my (albeit brief) set.  10% of the proceeds go to charity, and I think you get some free swag for donating.  Here's the address:

Caffe Amouri
107 Church St. NE
Vienna, VA 22180



Hope to see you soon - and enjoy the new tune!  :-)  -M
