at this workshop, does not refect the good standing of our Coffee House. If you
have a narrow sense of mind, you may want to re-think about attending this event.

Eric Schwartz might be the only artist in history reviewed by "Sing out!" and "Hustler".
Sundays in high school were spent listening to two hours of Doctor Ruth followed by two
hours of Doctor Demento, a fact which helps to explain the comparisons he has garnered
to Lenny Bruce, Pete Seeger, James Taylor, Frank Zappa and Barry Manilow, all of
whom Eric counts as influences. After years in the theatre, Schwartz turned his attentions
to singer-songwritering. A first-rate writer, singer and entertainer, he performs at
Folk Festivals (Kerrville, Philly, Falcon Ridge) clubs (The Bluebird, Club Passim)
Larger venues (The Birchmere, The Ark, The Bottom Line) and comedy clubs
(The Comedy Store, The Ice House) gets airplay on Howard Stern 100, NPR's
'All Things Considered', Doctor Demento and Air America.
About Holly Near's recording of the Schwartz-penned "Hattie and Mattie",
Gloria Steinham said "Hattie and Mattie' makes you want to tap dance
and fall in love" - Gloria Steinham
Eric Schwartz has a brilliant mind, a fabulous musical sensibility, and is
not afraid to sing what other people barely allow themselves to think.
