In 1991, she founds the quartet "Bubble-Town". In 1994, she appears as a solo singer in George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band and tours in Switzerland, Germany and Russia. In 1997 her trio "Mrs Bubble & Bones comes into being. In 1999 she tours again with the WDR Bigband and George Gruntz and Dino Saluzzi , later with "Mrs Bubble & Bones" as well as with the trio "Girl Group". She leaves a lasting impression with her performance at the Willisau Jazz Festival with the "International Alphorn Projekt" (with, a .o., Ray Anderson, Bob Stewart ) and takes off again on a new tour with "Mrs Bubble & Bones". In Switzerland she works with The Yound Gods and The Jimi Hendrix Project.

can someone help me figure out these lyrics?

there was a girl in 69 she swam along to the tide

??????? her little body pulled her down

when she sank down to the ground

the pearls and shells that she had found

she wore them just like jewelry

and then she smiled

i'm swimming in the river but i'm dreaming of the sea

i'm drowning in the river but i'm dreaming of the sea here i lie i see no sky my beautiful pearls, shells and i (?)

i lie very still

for Harry S.:

Erika has actually been on a concert with Meredith Monk before, here in Berlin in the Kulturbrauerei, I think, about two years ago

:-)

Since I love Meredith for long, I went there and also had the pleasure of hearing Erika the first time.

And then in the film Heimatklänge from Stefan Schwietert, which is also introduced here at youtubefor your information!

Also try the FMM 2007 festival interview with her.
