Acoustic Breakfast - The Heartless Bastards' Erika Wennerstrom

HUNGRY FOR A GREAT ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE?

The Heartless Bastards
(One of the RSL's Top Three American Live Bands of 2009) are already well on their way to becoming many people's pick as artist of the year at this point. The band released the absolutely must-have album, The Mountain , (review - recommended!) back at the beginning of the month. The Bastards are about to embark on the second leg of their national tour that will take them through Austin's SxSW Music Festival (dates below!)

An upcoming NPR live recording at Philadelphia's World Cafe will be aired on NPR on March 19. (Just about the time the band reaches South-by-Southwest. We are anxiously anticipating this one!)

We have a little treat for you today
.... We hope this holds you over! It's Erika Wennerstrom's acoustic performance of the Heartless Bastard's 2006 hit, "Searching for the Ghost." This is sensational!
