Evan and I are very pleased to be hosting this house concert. We will be
providing snacks, sweets and drinks (non-alcoholic - Please bring your own
if you want alcohol). We will be collecting donations for the musicians
(please help support the people who are providing you the entertainment)
and selling their CD's.
When the music is over, there will be an open jam/filk. Please feel free
to bring your instruments, voices and other noisemakers and join in!
For those of you not familiar with one or more of these artists there is
some information and weblinks below. Each is a stellar artist with their
own performing style.
Kat Eggleston - (from her web page at www.kateggleston.com)
"Not only is Kat Eggleston one of the best and most versatile
singer-songwriters I've ever heard - there are a whole lot of more
celebrated people out there who can't carry her fingerpicks - but every
time I hear her she gets distinctly better. If this keeps up she's in
serious danger of becoming a national treasure." - Peter S. Beagle

Eric Coleman - (from his webpage at http://members.aol.com/ericcoleman/)
In the last couple of years Eric has suffered from what he refers to as
"Songwriter MPD". He is either putting to tape "hopelessly sad songs
filled with self pity and middle aged angst" or he is "making cruel fun of
people who, frankly, make a lot more money than I do". At least that is
his glib take on it.
In reality Eric is writing either character studies of nervous, lonely and
frustrated folks that are very much like people you know (and who
frequently are people he knows, expect lawsuits if he ever gets famous),
or he is writing oddball social satire with a vicious sense of humor. His
live sets are punctuated with stories about the songs and the people in
them as well as abuse for anyone foolish enough to ask Eric to play a
cover song.

Steve Macdonald - (from his site at www.smacdonald.com)
"The thing I love most about singing with Steve is the ENERGY he puts into
his music! He's a great person to have at a jam session. He is such a
silly, talented, huggable, fun person to know that when I spend an evening
singing with Steve I always identify most strongly with his song 'I Wish I
Didn't Have to Go!'" - Mary Ellen Wessels
"I leave you with the following warning: If you encounter Steve Macdonald,
plug your ears, close your eyes, and back away quickly. Don't listen to
him, don't ask him about his project to rewrite the entire rock opera
"Tommy" into a Harry Potter piece. Don't buy any of his tapes or CDs.
It's too late for me (I even married a woman who was already an addict),
but perhaps through its telling, it will save others from the depravity of
being a Steve fan. And for the sake of your soul, don't sing along!
(Unless you want to, that is.)" - Dan Glasser
