Erica & Friends: Songs of the British Isles and Ireland

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Beautiful traditional ballads and haunting vocals intermingled with foot stomping jigs, reels and polkas, and modern British pop songs.

Calliope presented Berkeley-based folk group Erica & Friends in 2023, and they rocked the sold-out house - we are so happy to welcome them back to our beautiful Sanctuary!

The band brings audiences music from the UK and Ireland - beautiful traditional ballads intermingled with foot stomping jigs, reels and polkas, upbeat pub songs and modern British pop songs. They mingle the old with the new; seasoned players on exquisite folk instruments, powerful lead vocals and great harmonies. They are comfortable performing in a variety of venues-from intimate house concerts, pubs and wine bars, to festivals and outdoor winery settings-they love to tell universally human stories through music. They are a regular fixture at The Cheese Board in Berkeley and Riggers Loft Winery in Richmond and the Irish Music Festival in Fairfax.

Band Members

Erica Hockett - Vocals, Bodhran
Chris Hammond - Guitar, Vocals
Anne Bingham Goess - Violin, Viola, Vocals
Jason Courtney - Bouzouki
Charlie Hancock - Accordion
Tom Lindemuth - Vocals, Winds, Percussion

$15-$30.
