Downtown Minneapolis With Eric Funn Part II

Last July I recorded an hour and 45 minute set and we met up again today in front of the IDS Center. No tracks available at the moment because it just happened 2 hours ago and I'm charging batteries to record another show at The Triple Rock tonight. I highly recommend getting to know Eric Funn and his extensive catalog of songs. He is downtown on Nicollet Mall many evenings. Tell 'em Empty sent ya.

Beautiful day for busking downtown Minneapolis.

This lady had the sickest tap shoes/skills I've seen around town in a minute. Can't wait to play back the tape.

Eric and I stopped at The Lotus for a round of pho and fresh vegetable spring rolls. Sorry but I don't call it Lotus To Go Go. It is one of my favorite restaurants in town though.

I met up with Eric to record the release for his latest album New Hub City. Definitely glad I did because it was a great time. Beautiful early Friday evening with everyone either heading home or just out to enjoy the weather. An hour and 45 minutes of material was recorded so consider this a promo for a possible live release down the road. I didn't want to compress the hell out of these tracks so they are a fair representation of what was recorded. Thanks to Eric for allowing me to stick microphones up in his face. Catch him solo around town or with Eric & The Funnettes.
