Mike and EricMike & Eric

Mike Lauer is my nephew, Eric Radloff is his best friend and musical collaborator. When they were in high school they vowed to write and record 100 songs before graduation. As a Christmas present I gave them studio time at Rockhouse Studios in St. Joseph, MN, these songs are the result.

I met Jenn shortly after she moved to town from somewhere deep in the heart of Wisconsin. She started playing open mic nights around town and gigs here and there. She also is a home beer brewer which makes puts her in the running for "perfect woman." Here's a couple of her beer-themed songs.

The Beer Snob Song [Listen]
"Give me a doppelbock or whitbier, I don't need your piece of shit beer."
The Way to This Girl's Heart [Listen]
"The way to this girl's heart is through her liver."
