Hey! Drop us a note and tell us what you think.

To all those that came out to Dunn Brothers and the State Fair, thanks. We had a blast and we hope you did too!

We have one more show - the FAWM Showcase at Ginko’s - which is going to rock so hard, it just might hurt! After that, Jen and I will be on a hiatus while we get down to business on the new CD. I may also be posting a couple new song demos, so keep an eye out for those.

Hope to see you out there.

This is just a quick reminder about two upcoming shows.

First off is Friday August 25th at Dunn Brothers in White Bear Lake. This is one of my favorite coffeeshop venues so I was already psyched. To add to it, I have a special guest joining me - G-Slab. Those of you who made it to the FAWM Showcase got to see Jen and I play a few numbers with the G-Slab crew. We’ll be doing it again, with Jen and I swapping around instruments, including G-Slab’s very nifty log drum setup, to fill out the sound. On top of that, G-Slab is going to be joining us for several of our numbers, adding guitars and drums. It’s going to be a big old jam-out BLAST! It starts at 7:00 PM and it costs 0$… that’s right… FREE. (Though Tips are always welcome.) Details are in the Shows section.

The other show is the Midwest FAWM Songwriters Showcase. This one is a show you REALLY don’t want to miss. It’s also FREE (again Tips are very much encouraged) It’s on Saturday September 9th at Ginko’s Coffeehouse in St. Paul on Snelling Ave. 4 FAWM Songwriters (including myself) will be rockin out 4 hours of music. Russ Brown of the Balet School Troublemakers, Amy Curl, Nancy Rost, and myself will be playing the best of our FAWM songs and having a darn good time! Details are in the Shows section.

Work continues on the new album, albeit slowly. Keep tuned her for updates. That’s all for now. Hope to see you at a show!

Hello all! This the new site for Singer/Songwriter Eric Distad. This is a work in progress, so bear with us as we move things around and get things tweaked.

To all those that made it out to one of our shows on Friday or Sunday: A Big THANKS! We hope you had a good time. We certainly did!

The FAWM Showcase at the Acadia was a blast. The G-Slab crew turned in a great performance that was a lot of fun. Erin O’Brien and Burr’s sets were outstanding. Our sets were pretty good as well (we hope). I debuted 11 of the songs I wrote for FAWM 2006.
