Catch The Erins, then one Erin’s solo show

Published: June 26. 2009 4:00AM PST

Attention, fans of The Erins: There are two Erins-related shows this weekend, both of some significance.

First up, tonight at The Summit Saloon & Stage is your last chance of the summer (probably) to catch both Erins — Zurflu and Cole-Baker — playing their harmony-laden alt-folk together. Soon, Erin Zurflu must head back east for medical school, leaving Erin Cole-Baker to play solo.

Which, no doubt, Cole-Baker will handle just fine. She’ll start with a big gig: A free Summer Sunday concert at Les Schwab Amphitheater on Sunday afternoon. There, Cole-Baker will be backed by a band featuring Tom Freedman on bass, Steven Tate on drums and Chris Chabot on guitar and vocals. She also promises to bust out “some banjo and ukelele” for a few tunes.

Cole-Baker is hard at work on a new solo album. Learn more about her at www.erincolebaker.com.

The Erins, with Ugly Purple Sweater ; 8 tonight; free; The Summit Saloon & Stage, 125 N.W. Oregon Ave., Bend; 541-749-2440 or www.summitsaloon.com.

Erin Cole-Baker ; 2:30 p.m. Sunday, gates open 1 p.m.; free; Les Schwab Amphitheater, 344 S.W. Shevlin Hixon Drive, Bend; 541-322-9383 or www.bendconcerts.com.
