Wow, TWO sets at Dunegrass! Your songs permeated my soul all weekend long. Thanks for adding even more joy to an already awesome festival!

So I finally made it to the Beaver Island Music Fest this year, and all I can say about your Friday night performance is **PHENOMENAL** I hope to be at Wise Fools Pub on Oct 13th when you're there and bring a few folks along to experience your musical presence.

You guys were AMAZING at BIMF! Thanks for the great music and energy!

I also saw you guys at the festival on the island. you all where great and made the time there all that more exciting, i hope to book it through the woods again sometime when i hear your music waving in the air. i'll see you all again soon. thx

BIMF was really ggod, you guys sounded great. I'll be in touch.

Saw you for the first time at the Beaver Island Music Festival. Great time and venue. Our band What Four opened the show on Friday night. Your performance inspired the audiance and me personally. Ragbirds are one of the few bands to take music to a higher place. Hope to see and hear you next year on B.I. Thanks Jon

Just checking in from a little internet cafe here in Ningxia province, China. Erhm, I was still home when ya'll got engaged, and I had no idea!!! Congrats guys!! :~p Just gotta say that although I miss seeing ya'll play live, your music that I downloaded to my MP3 makes the long 1,800 mile slog I'm on (www.thegreatwallnut.com) a lot more enjoyable!! It makes that around me look all the more beautiful. Ah, the gift of music! Take care, and I can't wait to catch yas upon my return sometime next year! Peace, Jamie :~)

Thanks for joining us at the Creek! People were wonderin' where you guys went on Sunday...they were lookin' to buy CD's. So needless to say, you have many new fans now. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to hang with. See you all soon!

Your band is amazing! Saw you all at the magic stick and I loved your sound so much. I play your live CD at work all the time. I get a lot of people asking about your band. Keep it up!

You guys rocked the Magic Bag, thanks for the great time! Bought the disc which is awesome-Ypsilanti song and African Drum Beats are on constant replay in my car!!!! Thanks guys!

I saw your show at The Magic Bag and it was AWESOME!! The background graphics and your songs were FANTASTIC!! The crowd LOVED you. Keep up the GREATNESS!

Caught your show last Friday night at the Shoreline Brewery. It was my first time seeing The Ragbirds and I thought you were fantastic! I really enjoyed your music and all of the band members were very friendly. Thanks for a fun night out in Michigan City. I bought your live album and it sounds great. Check out my review of the show at http://album.wordpress.com - Thanks!

Yeah, the spam sucks, but no worries: We're actually putting up the all new www.theragbirds.com in a few weeks. An all new website with an all new guestbook/forum that will be protected from spammers. Keep an eye out for it!

You have a great site, but I'm so sorry you have a lot of spam :-(

Hello! I have officially decided that you all need to fly down to Austin and put on a show, because it is entirely unfair that yall live in michigan and I cant see you play. Found your debut CD at Waterloo records by a happy accident, and have loved you ever since! come on down and play a show or two. puleeeeez!

Congradulations!! The wedding is happy news.

I had a great time at the show at Espresso Royal last night! Great seeing you guys again, as we just met last Saturday at Mickey Finn's! The recording smokes! Great crowd and atmosphere. Thank You Folks!

About your show at "It's a Grind" in Milford, on 19 May; this was not just a show, it was an EXPERIENCE. Not my usual kind of music necessarily, but the rhythm and feel of the music just carries you away and you have no choice but to go along! Wonderful! I'm now an official fan! Erin, you're just amazing; I'm so glad I met you and I am in awe of all your talent! Congratulations to you and Randy on your up-coming marriage!

Randall and Erin... Heard about the great news and thought I would drop by and give my Congrats. Ground Score wishes you both the best of luck and eternal happiness!

And FYI i'm so excited for the dunegrass festival; jorma kaukonen is my mom's cousin...i havnt gotten to meet him yet at any fam reunions so i'm super excited to see him play the first time i meet him!!!

I went to your website with a happy heart just wanting to tell you how glad I am to have discovered you guys and tell you how much I'm enjoying your music. Now, I am filled with sadness after hearing about your friend Lisa. My heart goes out to all of you. I know you will always keep her spirit alive in your thoughts and music.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am SO sorry about your dear friend Lisa...that's a horrible thing to have to go through, for all your sakes and hers. I am absolutely shocked to hear it and rather repulsed to say the least. I wish you all soothing energy and peaceful mourning... -Cori

I heard you at the Hash Bash and you stopped me in my tracks! I love world music, especially the accordian. What Fun! I plan on coming to your show at TC's in May.I bought both CD's and listen on the way to work. Love It! LB

What can i say i drove from indianapolis to hash bash and wouldve been real dissappointed had i not heard the ragbirds. i immeaditly bought the 2 discs available and am now hooked.

Hello Ragbirds! I miss playing with you. Hopefully I will see you soon.

Nevermind it's 21+...

I live in east lansing and i REALLY wanna go to your st. patrick's show in ypsi but all my friends are going to get wasted instead (of course, i go to college.) So i'm just letting you know of my devotion, I'M GOING ALONE!!!!! Unless someone can take me...cuz that'd be sweet. Anyway, love your music, i just heard you guys for the first time at It's a Grind in Milford, and i fell in love! Keep the music going, its beautiful!

Hey guys! Glad to see you're going to be back in Grand Haven this summer! Hope to see you soon! Rach

ERIN!!!!!!!!!!! It's been a while since I saw ya!! I'll try and gather a bunch of people to come see you at Macs bar next week.

Hi Randy & Erin, Just checking out your upcoming dates. I'll be in Chicago when you are playing in Lansing on 3/16. Glad to see you'll be at Kirby a lot this summer. See you soon!!!

We liked visiting your site. :) Kelly Weeks (and Mom, Katy), one of Erin's violin students.

I seen your guys play on Friday night at Rubbles in Mt. Pleasant. It was the first time I heard the band play and I loved it! I just wanted to let you all know, I really enjoy your music and look forward to hearing you all play next time you're in town.

Can't tell you enough how much we are enjoying the new CD! It's great to have more of our favorites to listen to!

STILL LOVE YES,NEARBY. STILL RECEIVING HIGH PRAISE ON YOUR AND RANDLE'S STRONG CONTRIBUTION ON "HEAVEN AND EARTH"

Saw your show at the Trinity House Saturday night. Loved it. Please consider coming back! Erin-any hope for a 40+ woman to learn the violin/fiddle with absolutely no musical background? You were awe inspiring as well as the rest of the Ragbirds! Loved your energy and contagious smile!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!!!!!

man you guys are amazing, hopefully yall will come down to texas. hint hint.

I really like your band, another words, you are really good.

Hey there! I miss you guys. I saw a little trio in GRand Haven(where I'm snowed in)called DOMINICA---they're on MySPACE--check em out ERin. They should open for you next time you're over here.

your site is really amazing- i like your stuff here... i wish you and your guests a wonderful christmas time... musical greetz from vienna !! if you are interested in promoting your music on our site, please let me know.. www.race.at

Saw your show at the Ground Sphere in Allegan (I was the bald one in the audience). Please come back someday - I promise I'll get you a bigger crowd. You guys are great.

awsome show!!

"Degraded bird, I give you back your eyes forever, ascend now whither you are tossed; Forsake this wrist, forsake this rhyme; Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, But climb." -Edna St. Vincent Millay, "On Thought in Harness", lines 11-14

Saw you all play at the Red Dog Saloon recently. You are very good, and I think I'll try to catch you Nov. 8 at the Blind Pig. Regardless of whether I get to that show, I wish you luck! I loke only good music and hey, you guys are good

Hey. You guys played at my friend John's grad party up in Tawas. I saw you guys are coming to Mt. Pleasant which is where I go to school. I can't wait to see you guys again. Your music is so much fun and I will be read to dance!!!

Kirk, You can buy the disc here on our website or at our shows. We'll be in Flint November 19 at Churchills. Check the shows page for more details.

I saw you guys at the Loft in Flint town.You guys are the most refreshing sound I have heard in five years around here. Any place to buy the disc here in Flint?

I saw you guys at the Blind Pig. You are so creative! Pan Irish-African! Just kidding. Good luck with your future music making. I think you've got something here. (I'm listening to your CD at work!)

Hey there I'm praying for you to find the perfect percussionist. go to wheatland.org and mention Lisa Fogle. She is the Wheatland lifer that heard you guys at the Kirby.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you for letting Brett and I grace the same stage as y'all. Had a wonderful time at Rubbles and I hope to see you somewhere out there real soon!!

Hey there Ragbirds My friends loved your show at the Kirby! YAY-I am in the process of getting you that Wheatland address to send your press kit to. I'll call you about it.

Hey Ragbirds, thanks for playing at Churchills. It was fun seeing you in Flint. What a musical treat it was! Hope to see you again soon.

Hey Erin--it's been a while since we were in touch. (you were still with Madison Greene at the time) I am now in Broadway, VA, and my husband is teaching at Eastern Mennonite University. Come play near me! Gorgeous website!!!

Heard you on Mitch thurs. I liked what I heard. Gotta get me somma dat.

Hello Ragbirds! Just checking out your site. See you all real soon!

I was in Maumee Ohio last night at the Village Idiot( I'm from Brighton MI,)Very impressive! What impressed me the most was the variety of instruments that the singer was obviously well trained on! Will keep checking for any shows coming to the Ann Arbor and surrounding areas and will definately pass the word along to many friends!

Great stuff. I cannot wait to see you live. Of course any band with Adam in it is sure to be good. Love how The Ragbirds simnply cannot be described as, "They sound like X."

I received your CD as a B-Day gift from my sister Jamie who works at T.C.'s along with one from City Goat and some demo's from Rootstand. Yes Nearby is in heavy rotation on every playback device I own, I can't get enough! It's great to see the Ypsi music scene doing so well and The Ragbirds are definitely leading the pack. Your music would play very well here in Charlotte, NC, any plans to come this way? There are several venues that are perfect for your sound. If you decide to venture this far let me know and I will do what I can to hook you up.

Hey Erin I read about you in artvoice. So I checked it out. It sounds great I really like it. All of you Zindels are incredible talented. It's nice to see you guys going places and making a difference. I hope the family is well. Take care, congradulations and good luck.

Adam, Brian and Melissa Moore (I'm her Dad) turned me on to the new group your in. The cd is outstanding and I will be giving out your web address to all of my musical friends. Hope you get a few sales from it. I caught your solo show last year and I hope I can get out to Mich to see the Ragbirds. As of today your sounds will now be played in northern NY. ps Keep On Making Music. It's what your all here for Foster T Shampine

Caught your show at the Temple Club a while back, and really dug it! You guys have a great sound, and are definitely going places. If you're ever rolling through the lansing area again, and need an acoustic openner, le tme know. www.myspace.com/mattburkemusic

Caught your show about half way through my lunch hour during Art Fair. I KNEW after about 2 songs I'd be buying the CD. My lunch lasted 1 1/2 hours before I finally left to go back to work. I'm hooked! What a wonderful CD...great, great stuff! I can't wait to see you at another show. Best wishes.

The Pig was way too much fun on 7/7. See you in Mt. P! ONE MORE...THREE MORE!!!

Yay~you kids rock!! My friends loved it, I loved it-we will see you again soon I'm sure. I'm going to try to bring Maddy(my little one)to one of the art fair shows so she can dance around and sing Tipi Baya or as she would say Ducka Goya...thanks for a great show!!

Another great show 7/7. I pulled two new fans to the show at the Pig and they loved it! Can't wait till the next one. My voice should be fine by then (lots of cheering during the show!)

Tawas loved you guys! They were calling from across the lake to find out how to hear more of the awesome band that grooved til midnight. You could have played til the sun came up and they would have been asking for more! Hope to catch you at a local gig soon. Infectious global groove.....YES!

Hope you enjoyed your time up in paradise (Oscoda). It was good to see ya Randy, only been a year or so. Thanks for the CD, very impresive. Cheers, Reed

Oh man that was intense!!! You guys rock! What a show Saturday night at the Hartland Music Hall. On behalf of 150 very special children we thank you for your kindness and generosity. Peace for the little ones.

Hi Guys! I just listened to some samples from the album..loved it! When are you coming down south? (Charleston, SC)

Hi guys ~ Just wanted to thank you for performing the benefit concert Saturday night. You guys were and are awesome!!! Your concert was the best one I have been to in many years and you now outrank Fleetwood Mac as my favorite band! Everyone loved and enjoyed your music and performance. Again, heartfelt thanks and hope to see you soon ~ Deb Norton, Co-Founder, Chain of Hearts.

Randall: Dropped by the site here and everything looks awesome man! I wish you guys the best with everything! Charlie

You can really sing and play music keep up good work.

Saw you at the Foggy Bottom on 6/10 ... SUPER job! Hope to hear you again soon.

Just letting you know that I am still listening to the CD, telling others about The Ragbirds, and counting the days to the show this Friday at TC's with Glowb! Ahhhhh the Ypsi-Flint family reunion is gonna be a crazy, foot-stomping, hand clapping, supah spinning good time! I miss you guys!

hola! i'm so excited for all of you-- the music you create together is so powerful i can't stop myself from dancing when i hear it-- even when its just coming out of my cd plyer:) you have such a beautiful voice, erin!!! see you all soon! peace&love

Congrats on the success and great reviews so far. I'm sure there will be many more on the way! I'm gonna miss being able to hear you in concert once I go to Tennessee, but thank God I bought a CD, so I can take your music anywhere I go. Keep up the great work, and God bless.

C'mon now,,, in looking at your tour page, there ARE places outside of MI that would love to hear your music live. When you coming to AZ or somewhere out West? Was referred to your music by Miranda Stone and love it!

Thank You for your music. The CD helps me remember the thoughts and feelings that wove through me last Saturday evening at TCs. Filled my heart with love and helped me. Thank You.

I happened to be at the Village Idiot when you played, and I was intrigued enough to buy the CD. Originally, I described your music as Irish-Reggae. After listening to "Yes, Nearby",it is so much more. I played "Adoration" for my 7-year old so she could hear your guest singer.She described it as Egyptian. Dissappointed there are no Memorial Weekend shows -- I was hoping to see you. Guess I'll have to wait for August at the Idiot.

Congratulations to all of you on your 4 star review. Matt and I enjoy listening to your CD, and it's nice to see you acknowledged for your hard work and incredible talent. Randy, I don't think I've ever seen your parents (especially your Dad) so proud of you. Erin, I'm glad that you are finally sharing your beautiful voice with the world, and I am so very honored for you to perform at my wedding!!!! Love, Jen

Joe, it was a great time , plenty of people, plenty of good music. We had a great time and hope to do it again!

yo... how'd it go?... i'm dying to hear about the blind swine show... did the crowd stack? did y'all attack? are they having you back?

Hey guys, just checking out the site some more, I had a great time last night, everyone did that came in our group - fantastic job! Hey I laughed out loud when I saw the post from Chris on 4-20 that says: "I am a Monkey and this music is Bananas" - that is frickin' hilarious! We'll see you soon, get me some photos from our last show or put some up on the site! Peace.

Tight show in Flint-town the other night, been thinkin' about you guys. Expect a call from me extremely soon. Let's talk, k?

Yay stinsonian way to live out your dreams. Isn't this ironic??? You're doing your music and I'm doing my screenwriting!!!!!!!! This is amazing.

OF course I'm your biggest fan. I need another CD. That makes 5 now. I should get a prize or something. How long does it take to ship it somewhere? The friend I am sending it to is moving. Thanks!

Well, I think Believe It would make a great radio track, I think it's a standout track on the album. BTW, I'm looking forward to the Blind Pig show--should be a great time.

Wes, so far we've heard love's great joke and Tipi Baya. There are others that we think would make great radio tunes, and we suggest them as well but it isn't up to us. I'd like to hear Believe it..... what do you think?

Just curious, what song is getting radio-play?

No-no-no guys, this is well out of order; I had a to-do list about three miles long that needed to be started on today (my only day off 'till next Wed,), and here I've been compulsively replaying the three tunes on the website for hours! Now really, how is it that I'm to find time to solve the problems of the world when you're making music so good I can't possibly tear myself away, eh?! I 'spose the world is just gonna have to wait; Erin or Randy, if you pop into TC's soon couldjya bring two cds for me to buy? :~p

the show lasnight was amazing... Erin you are a very beautiful and talented musician... thanks for the jam!

You created an instant fan, 4/30/05. The show was cool and I listened to the CD all the way home.

Hi Erin again! ^^ I've already told you this a million times, but your music is muchly good! :D Now if I only knew where I put the CD....

randy, I enjoyed the disc you gave me. see you at your blind pig show. -tom currie tomcurrieshow@yahoo.com www.ithemagician.com

Thanks Gord! See ya in July

Awesome site Greg! Hopefully I will be able to see you all play when I come up in July. Keep up the cool beats. -Gordo

I am a monkey, and this music is Bananas. Thank you

I love you guys! I can't get your songs out of my head, i've been singing them since Monday! can't wait to see ya'll again. Thanks for the wonderful music and vibes. Peace & tenderness

Just bought your CD -- it's great. Keep up the good work.

Hi Erin. Just a quick hello from one of your new students. I love the CD. We'll have to talk.

Erin, Wow, I just listened to your demos - I didn't expect such a rich full sound from you and your band - it's great!! You told me that the Foggybottom was for you to learn to play together, but it is clear that you're well past that point. I'm really looking forward to hearing you live and hearing the rest of the music on your CD.

Congrats to Greg on his new marriage!!!!!!!

Hi Erin. Thank you and the band for supporting our children by performing the upcoming concert on June 18th. We really appreciate your support and contribution! I have heard a few of your tracks and cannot wait for the concert!

Thank you so much for holding this event for Michigan's Special Children. Our day in the park for the children will make such a difference in so many young lives. Thank you all from Big Family of Michigan

Erin: Web site is excellent. Hoping I get a chance to hear the group. Dreams do come true. Happy for you. Blessings.

really enjoyed the show at tc's--i am so happy for all of you and excited to experience such wonderful music--it was certainly a moving experience and can't wait for more--much love and peace

Hey Erin, I got your message about the upcoming show when I was out of town, now I am extremely bummed that I've missed your shows. I have this little three track demo of yours that a friend passed along to me and I adore it. I'm not sure I can wait until next month to hear the band live. I am such a boofa and haven't gotten in touch with you, please call again and keep in touch and keep me updated about the band, can't wait for the CD release.

I hear you are making your way to Buffalo? When and Where ? I would love to catch the show !!

You are the ultimate band if you say another words ill rip your face off!

Erin, I'm so fortunate to be learning from such a talented musician!! Your music is beautiful and the website looks great! The show at the Red Dog Saloon was fun ~ can't wait to see you play again!

I love the website guys! I put a link on glowb.org now, thank you for linking us, we got a few hits from your site! Can't wait to get Glowb and the Birds playing a show together!

I went to the show last night (3/5) and the Ragbirds were fantastic. The set was tight, professionsal, fun, entertaining, and was by far, the best band of the three that played. The impeding great success is palpable as Erin draws the listener in with her beautiful voice and stage presence. I was honored to watch such a performance. Fantastic.

Makes me wonder why I moved to Florida last year, hearing the great sound being developed in good old Michigan. Well, I've got a couple of great locations for you to play in the Tampa/ St. Pete area. Let me know when you are comin' my way. Wonderful website as well. Carry on.

So I love it all Erin:) Good work!

The website looks great. Looking forward to your CD release here in Buffalo. Love, Dad

Hi Ragbirds The show at the Red Dog was fantastic! Great website... Hope to see you at the Red Dog again!
