Erik Balkey "When The War Is Won" is a song i wrote with Pat Wictor. I asked my friends Laurie MacAllister (Red Molly) and Amy Speace to record it, and the song was produced by Tom Prasada-Rao. It recently was included on a 16-song compilation CD with the likes of John Gorka, Holly Near, Tom Paxton and Utah Phillips! Produced b...y George Mann, the compilation is called “Until You Come Home: Songs for Veterans and Their Kin.”

The cost is in the range of $0-5000. I like to have two of these three requirements filled when agreeing to do a show: (1) good fun, (2) good opportunity, (3) good money.

Erik Balkey Radio tonight! Between innings roll the dial on your transistor radio to 88.5 FM. Legendary Philly Folk icon Gene Shay will ask me fascinating questions to keep me on my toes. If I can handle his fastball up and in, I get to play some simple songs. Sometime between 8 and 11 pm. (Also, streaming on xpn.org)

Erik Balkey Frederick/Herndon: The “Nobody Know’s I’m A-Comin’ Tour” -- My parole officer hasn’t been payin attention; my landlady says I could go if I came back w/ some loot. Bring the cash from the sock in your mattress. I made 200 copies of new songs. It cost me two months rent. Now, I need to figure out how to make the son...gs turn back into two months rent. Come to a show but don’t tell anyone else that I am there.
