Eric Hutchinson and Marié Digby



Saw them in a small divey-ish venue in Spokane last night. Great concert. I flew over from Seattle to visit my Mom, and we'd planned to catch Eric in concert. Josh was able to come along -- and had a great time. Josh even won a free CD from Eric for being the newest inductee as a "Hutchhead" -- an award given by Eric to the person he noticed in the crowd who was so into the music, but had never heard it before.

Alex will be insanely jealous when he sees the pictures -- he loves EH's music (maybe almost as much as I do!) His sound is similar to Jason Mraz, although I think Hutchinson's music and lyrics are better. He's also got an amazing on-stage presence, quick wit and a great sense of humor.

Marié and Eric have been on tour together for the past six weeks, and I'd never heard her music before. She's truly talented and beautiful too! We got a chance to chat with Marié after the show, and learned that she is half Japanese and half Irish. She was amazed to learn that I was 1/4 Japanese and also Irish -- she made a comment that maybe her children will look like me!

I am certain they will both hit it big -- and seeing them in this venue was amazing. If you get a chance to see him in concert now, do it! I'm convinced you won't get the opportunity to see him in this small of a venue for long.

Check them out!
