Message from Erica copied below, slightly edited so out-of-towners can find the venues. I'm the one responsible for most of the caps. erica is the literary daughter of e.e. cummings.

*********

just a note to say that I've got 2 shows coming up:

Erica Smith and the Tumbleweeds
The Sidewalk Cafe
E. 6th St. and Ave. A, New York City
Wednesday, 8/22/01, 10 PM


. . . and with the fabulous Lisa Dicus, singing all our hootenanny faves
Friday, 8/25/01, 8 PM
Triad Bar & Lounge
158 W. 72nd St., near Broadway, New York City

. . . something really random and interesting has happened at each and every gig this summer! Will another drunk clapping man reduce our hostess to a pile of jell-o(TM)? Will excessive frappucino(TM) intake make Andrew and Jon bounce around in a sugar frenzy? will a local eccentric 'dance to his own beat' in the doorway during the show? Come join the summer madness!!!!

the website, maidmusic.com, is coming along quite nicely. check there for news and such!

'live in her living room' is now up at cdbaby.com: http://www.cdbaby.com/ericasmith hearken ye: check it out, write a nice review if you like, buy copies for your loved ones.

thanks. see you soon!
