"...Bottleneck blues, Gospel and lots of strong folk originals from Boston-based OHerin, who accompanies her Appalachian edged, rein-free vocals with some creative, dancing fingerpickin..." Sing OutHave you performed in front of an audience?I play over 75 gigs a year. My favorites were the 2006 Tropea Blues Festival in Italy and the 2005 Resophonic Guitar Festival in the Czech Repulblic--I was the headliner and didn't even realize it until the last day.. The 2006 Memphis Blues Challenge was also a lot of fun.
