Erik Petersen's Tribute to Utah Phillips

On May 23, 2008, Utah Phillips left this earth, and the following evening, Erik Petersen gave him the props he deserved. Shot at the International Waters House in Philadelphia, PA 5/24/08. CORRECTION: Someone hit us up to note, "Its PETERSEN! NOT PETERSON! WE'RE DANISH DAMMIT!" I corrected it in the info, but unfortunately it is still misspelled in the video. My apologies.

Never heard of this guy, but anyone who sings Bruce's songs is OK in my book.

Speaking as an Erik Petersen fan, he is one worth checking out. There's tons of stuff of him on You Tube, but you have to see him live to really see what he's all about.

[Steinouer]

Great Video mate.

Do you have footage from the rest of the show?

[NoPawn]

Yeah. I am going to have more from this soon - and the video won't be so jumpy since I ironed out the bugs.

erik's band is mischief brew which is absolutely amazing and full of energy..he also plays acoustic and is a great guitarist and songwriter himself... really a nice guy..have met him a few times... gentle and humble kid, even though his songs have rage.

[ExpansiveHeart77]

Erik is amazing.

I bought his last copy of the Orphans 7in off of him.

he was nice enough to send me a flyer for a Mischief Brew show, with a note to me on the back, that made my day.

I was hoping he'd do something in memory of Utah. I'm just sorry I didn't catch it live.
