Colorado Springs, CO - Fountain Valley School
It was a gorgeous day with glorious graduates and proud families. Because so many have asked, here is the commencement address that Erika delivered.
FVS Commencement Address
Spring unfurls
New music is blossoming. Songs are springing forth and after Erika's last hop to the East Coast for the Rally with Lisa Ferraro, Amy Steinberg, Ty Stephens (and his marvelous team of musicians - Richard Cummings,Clive Smith, and Celine Fitzpatrick), she's moving more deeply into the magic of strings: steel, nylon, electric, requinto, and cello... There's a healing power in music and she's tapping in. Stay tuned!
Girlfriend!
Heading to Louisville, KY to do a week long stint substituting for Julie Wolf, Erika will be joining the cast of Matthew Sweet inspired musical, Girlfriend. With book by Todd Almond music by directed by Les Waters, choreographed by Joe Goode, and Music Direction by Julie Wolf. The rocking band features music director Julie Wolf, lead guitarist Kelly Richey, drummer Jyn Yates and bass player Sara Lee (of B-52s, Indigo Girls, Ani D and Joan Osbourne).
From Louisville, she heads to Lexington, KY for performances with Lisa Ferraro.
New Music. New Life. All Good!
