We're Gonna Get It

Eric Schwartz is not for everyone's taste, I'm sure. He's brash. He's unapolegetically political. He's probably a little more Broadway than most folkies like and he's certainly too folky for Broadway. Too snide for the sentimental types, and too sentimental for the ... He's coming! Here are the details from Jim and Llouise. Make sure to check out the Eric Schwartz website.

Friendship House Concerts is proud to present

Eric Schwartz

Sunday, October 23

4:00 p.m.

Eric Schwartz has spent years on the Folk Scene alternately evoking tears with his lyric balladry and pushing the edges of propriety. His split-personality performances have recently garnered comparisons to Frank Zappa, Frank Sinatra, Steve Goodman, Barry Manilow and Lenny Bruce. His edgier material often evokes the question: “Is THIS Folk?” He thinks so. From The Bluebird to the Bottom Line, Philly Folk to Kerrville, NPR’s All Things Considered to Doctor Demento, listeners seem to agree.

“The only thing bad about an Eric Schwartz show is that it ends. I wish I could install him in my living room and insert a quarter in his ear to get my daily fix.”
— Christopher Smith, Music Editor, Performing Songwriter Magazine
