Artist Bio
Influences: A lot of you wonderful Fawmers!
Eric Distad is a singer/songwriter from Minnesota. By day, he is a mild-mannered IT Professional, but by night he is a not-quite-as-mild-mannered musician...
This is his SIXTEENTH FAWM... (ah sweet sixteen)
Again this year, we are publishing our Geeky tracks as collabs with our band account @thefaithfulsidekicks.
Looking for the Geeky combined talents of Eric and Jen - Head over to @thefaithfulsidekicks page. 😀
BTW - The Faithful Sidekicks have one year old CD - our second - called Achievement Unlocked!
https://thefaithfulsidekicks.bandcamp...
I'm not sure what this year will bring... that's why it's fun! 😀

Thanks for your reply, Eric. One further question. If I join the 50/90 grouping, can I still use the FAWM file hosting. Or is that an entirely different set up?
Thanks in advance for your time,

Hi Eric,
I chose FAWM hosting this year and I have been very pleased with it. But I have a question, will the files I have hosted be deleted before or during Feb 2020? Are they only stored during the 11 months before the next FAWM?
Cheers,
Berni -

Hi Eric
I did not archive 2018.
I am trying to find lyrics to She Sang Oh Happy Day .
The demo would be great, but even the lyrics would help.
Thanks in advance -
@max Mar 10
Thanks for everything you guys did and do for FAWM.
It's a lot of work but remember it's well apreciated by many.
Here's hoping FAWM will always have Jen and Eric taking care of everyone in the future. -
@dasbinky Feb 28
Ack! How did I miss Orcs Must Die!?!
Liner notes updated. -
@dasbinky Feb 28
Congrats on the double-FAWM!

@jmadison Feb 25
Yeah, if you wanted to do 'Snowfall' as an aggressive metal track I think you'd have plenty of collaborators knocking on the soundboard to join in.

Hi Eric: The Future Ain't What it Used to Be from my 2004 solo live album, for the sake of the song: https://seanmcgaughey.bandcamp.com/tr... And of course I'll play it for you next time we are in a circle together. FilKOntario? We are not sure if we are going to AdAstra this year because we are trying to talk ourselves into WorldCon in Dublin.

I have, ahemm, of course never suffered from foot and mouth. Wait! Who is that guy with the red horns? I think he wants to escort me somewhere!

@ceilidh Feb 20
Music is now posted for Saturday Night and other songs!

@philkmills Feb 19
I see that someone typo'd "Nice job" into "Mice job" in a comment on one of your songs...like you need more ideas. 😀

@infilktion Feb 18
Demo is now up for I Wanna Be A Super Villain: https://fawm.org/songs/89863/

@ceilidh Feb 2019
Thank you for your comments on my demos! Trying to catch up with the writing part, but my spousal unit distracted me this morning with a wonderful breakfast (dungeness crab omelette with pine nuts and avocado) this morning...

@ceilidh Feb 2019
New music posted for FAWMsong 😀

@pearlmanhattan Feb 2019
Klaus and I are Klingon penpal, I think? ...i'm slowly learning Klingon, ...i'm a lifetime filker and scifi geek, I thought you'd enjoy that.

@ceilidh Feb 2019
FYI - Demo is up on Winter Light Festival and some other songs finally!!! Jeff Bohnhoff helped me find the correct sequence to get MP4's off of GarageBand app in my iPod! Working on More!! Thank you for your assistance in the fight!
-
@acromie Feb 2019
Thanks for the comment Eric! And yes! This song was inspired by a friend who took a photo of his daughter hugging a snowman after one of the many recent snowstorms. I'm sure ready for spring, aren't you?
-
@artpaul Feb 2019
Thanks ! I thought no one would notice
-
@ceilidh Feb 2019
Thanks for your comment on Winter Festival. One of my friends didn't brave the cold to come with us to see the lights, but said she could see some of them from her house up the hill in NE Portland. Really want to post the music but the tech is still fighting me.

@gabrieldistad Feb 2019
Demo for my first song is up! 😀
-
@ceilidh Feb 2019
Thank you!!! I LOVE THE FAWM!!! I think my output may be helped by the winter freeze and the fact that my songwriting laptop has a space heater under the table, which certainly encourages me to hang out and write more songs! At the start of the month I listed 14 subjects to write about, and have been happily crossing off finished songs from the list. Many thanks to you and Jen for managing a safe and happy place for songwriters!

@ceilidh Feb 2019

Hey Eric,
It was great meeting you at Conflikt -- and I ended up buying both of your CDs. Achievement unlocked!
You told me who was responsible for Titular and I promptly forgot. Can I get that from you again? -
@max Jan 2019
You are one with the FAWM
And the FAWM is with you!
Thanks for everything you guys do! -
@tspoon Jan 2019
Hi Eric! good to hear you again. 14 years for me. I will be traveling by car (with no guitar 😞 ) home from AZ, so no songs for me until Feb3. Still hope to get a few done this year. Maybe that long anticipated collab that the whole country has been clamoring for? oh goodee, said no one...
