Melissa Czarnik & the Eric Mire Band

By Third Coast Daily - Dec 16th, 2010 04:00 am

Poet/emcee Melissa Czarnik often performs live with the Eric Mire Band, a jazz-hip hop group, to blend Czarnik’s heartfelt and punchy lyrics with the bands funky and soulful rhythms. They were partners in our holiday song project, and the result is “O Come All Ye Faithful” as it’s never been heard before.

The band comprises guitarist Eric Mire on guitar, Chip Baily (drums), Brad Bloom (sax), Don Bradshaw (Latin percussion) and Maurice Cotton (keys/vocals). Both Czarnik and the Eric Mire Band have CDs available through iTunes and CDBaby. —Tom Strini
