What happens when a steel-fisted and muddy-mouthed former cabaret singer is forced to take her deplorable husband and their no-good relatives on a summer vacation? She puts them to work!! Coming to your city soon, the Schlapentickle Family presents theatrical cabaret-burlesque that’s so over the top you’ll want to take yours off! Mixing drool-inducing, smart strip-tease, stinging comedy, the magic of sideshow, and live ragtime music, the Schlapentickle Family promises an evening that will make you swear your family’s normal.

Whiskey Soaked Cabaret will include the hottest acts straight from the East Coast’s most respected burlesque and sideshow houses, including the raunchy ragtime revivalist Sabrina Chap, sideshow girl and comic genius- Mab just Mab, the devilish undulations of burlesque star Paco Fish and the hot new cherry-bomb burlesque siren, Scarlett Let-Her.

@ 9PM

It’s no trick to say Eric is, hands down, one of the hardest working tour players out there today, taking every opportunity to make friends, make music and make a difference. His creative and recording output is significant musically, but add that to the stories, poems, observations and sketches he is constantly posting and publishing and you can get a sense of what drives this unique artist and the message he is trying to communicate.

His most recent collection of prose is called “Red Chairs” and is available at http://www.ericsommer.com/d.sales.html. Sadly, the 40 songs he had recorded last year were all lost in a studio fire, and the 50 or so he had recorded the previous year vanished when the studio closed one night and the engineer and janitor made off with all the gear, all the studio recordings and the office plants.

Since 1995 Eric has been touring and playing all over the US and plays an average of 200 – 270 shows a year. He has been a regular performer at The Bayfront Blues Festival in Duluth, MN, The Carrboro Festival in Carrboro, NC and the Festival for the ENO in Raleigh, NC. Recent shows have included bills with Mates of State, OLD 97ʼs, Austin Guitar wiz Monte Montgomery and Jerry Douglas of Union Station, Sarah Watkins of Nickel Creek and Built to Spill…

Jim Reed of Savannah Connect said “Anyone whoʼs been in need of a fix of spectacular, percussive and virtuosic guitar work can rest easily. Eric Sommerʼs coming to town; One of the finest American guitar players on the road today Eric is an American original … a poet, songwriter and showman… and the master of all things Americana”

Amen.
