Eric Hutchinson New Song “Sad Songs”
Posted by hutchead on May 24, 2008
Eric played a new song in Chicago called Sad Songs. It has the same chord progression as “Upfront Girls” he played back in August. The poster on YouTube says it is from his upcoming album. I will see what I can find out about that. What do you think about the new song? And if anyone has seen a show on the new tour with Marié Digby, let us know what the format is like.
P.S. This is the first time I have seen Eric play an electric guitar.
P.P.S Or wear a dress suit for that matter.
P.P.P.S I got word from WBR, a new album is not in the near future.

I went to the concert at Towson today. Justin Nozuka was pretty good, he opened the show around 7:30. Marie was next (most of her songs are about some type of love), then Eric started playing around 9:30. If I remember correctly, he played all the songs off Sounds Like This, he played Sad Songs, and he did the My Girl/Ignition Remix. Both Marie and Eric played one new song but I’m not sure about Justin. Eric’s set was almost an hour long. I don’t remember the order, but I’m pretty sure “You’ve Got You” was first and “Ok, It’s Alright With Me” was last. As always he hung out in the back after the show. My friend and I got to take a picture with him. We didn’t get to talk to him much, except tell him that we saw him last month and give him some posters my friend made for him.
He wore an outfit similar to the one in the video, and his electric guitar is pink! pretty awesome. And Marie said that they all ride in the same tour bus which is pretty sick! (good “sick”, not bad “sick”)

And this song also sounds like the beginning of a an improv song he performed. http://ia340942.us.archive.org/0/items/ehutchinson2007-03-18.mk4.flac16/ehutchinson2007-03-18t06_vbr.mp3
If that doesn’t work it’s titled Press Pass and it’s located here:

I saw Eric perform this song at the Minnesota State Fair, (check the video out on YouTube, it’s great!) The lyrics are great, and it’s a real “get up” song. Makes me really look at life differently. =) And he was wearing a dress suit at the concert! Haha, he looked awesome! I’m really sad though about the fact that there might not be a new album coming out soon. I’m so anxious to hear it, I know it’ll be amazing!
