Hera and The Fabulous Lorraine!

It is less than a week now until the Concert with Myself and Hera from Iceland! Next Sunday, in fact, March 11th at 7:00pm at Charlies Pub in the Water Street Inn, no cover.

HISTORIC WATER STREET INN
AT THE FOOT OF THE LIFT BRIDGE
101 WATER STREET SOUTH
STILLWATER, MN 55082
651.439.6000


The owners of the Water Street In, Chuck and Judy, are opening up the big room for us to play in. The pub is wonderful and cozy, but small-ish and Hera and I don't want anyone to be turned away for lack of space, so the big room it will be. And yes, Chuck is bringing out the tables so you will have somewhere to put your drinks!

Miss Kitty from La-la will be handling the Merch end of things, and those of you who have bought things from her at previous events know it is as much fun buying from her as it is owning the things you buy! Hera, and I, will be signing things too, if you would like, after the show.

I was thinking about my bands today and recalling First Gigs. The Flash Girls played our fourth gig about three months after we formed the band. We opened for a sold out Warren Zevon show in the main room at First Ave.

With Folk UnderGround we had been together six weeks when we opened for the Tim Malloys in the Main Room at First Ave. It was our first gig.

Malena and I formed Lorraine a' Malena, set up a website and blog, did a photo postcard, and decided on recording dates some three months BEFORE we MET. We spent a week together, where we met for the first time and then went into the studio and recorded MIRROR MIRROR. We then played our first gig a month later, with Garrison Keillor.

And now there is Hera. We meet Friday. Become a duo on Saturday. And play the gig on Sunday.

Come and see us. It's Hera's first time playing in the US . It's going to be a Very fine time. ( I.e. We're going to ROCK that House!!!!! )

( Malena would be rocking with us, for the record, if she wasn't making a movie, alas, now THAT show might well have changed the world forever more! )

Love, Iceland, Music and Film,

Lorraine

Lots of Gigs and Way to cold!!!!

Hello All! I think I am finally back, as myself, on our blog! And yes, it is way way to cold here. When you start getting actual temperatures of -20 to -30 it gets a little silly.

Ok, here's is a head's up on some really fun gigs that are happening in my part of the world, where it WILL one assumes get above zero at some point...

February 9th and 10th, 9-1 Paul and Lorraine at Kieran's in Minneapolis. It's our first time there and we would like to really impress them, so if you can brave the cold, please do come down.

February 16th and 17th 7:30 to 11:30 Paul and Lorraine at Charlie's in Stillwater. The 16th is my Birthday Pah-te!!!!! ( I STILL want a Pony! ) Come early , this place is going to be packed!

March 2nd and 3rd 7:30- 11:30 Paul and Lorraine at Charlie's again.

And on Sunday March 11th, at 7:00pm... (click on the picture to find out who this is and next post I will tell you what I am doing with her)
