Kimon Kirk, producer, bass player and singer-songwriter, hits the Lizard Lounge tonight before he packs up and moves to LA. Having played with with national acts such as Aimee Mann, Grant Lee Philips and Gaby Moreno and known locally for his work with Session Americana, Kimon is an endearing and captivating performer with a repertoire of fantastic original material. Helping him showcase that material tonight is an all star band featuring drummer John Sands, guitarist Thomas Juliano and bassist Jim Haggerty.

Opening the show is singer-songwriter Erica Leigh an ASCAP & SESAC award-winning songwriter hailing from Boston, MA. Her fans describe her as Paula Cole meets Sara Bareilles, with a soulful voice and powerful storytelling ability.

Her debut album Puzzle Heart is both playful and heart-wrenching at times - Seven pieces to a compelling love story! It is beautifully depicted with layers of background vocals, strings, percussion and delightful surprises like clarinets and toy xylophones!

Erica's voice has been featured on a number of other albums - some of which, were recorded & mixed by 2-time Grammy award-winning Producer Ben Wisch (Marc Cohn, Jonatha Brooke, Diana Krall). These include: backing vocals on David Lockwood's Lucky Me (2010) & Modern Love (2013) (backing vocals + lead vocals on 2 tracks) & lastly, Walter Finley's Walk With Me (2014) which included a duet featuring her lead vocals.
