Erica Sunshine Lee & Chi McClean win Eddie's Attic

With a night off during our touring schedule, Chi McClean and I decided to head up to Decatur, GA to Eddie’s Attic to try our luck at their song writing contest series. They were completely booked with the exception of one spot, so we shared it and Chi performed his incredible song “It Don’t Matter” and then I sang one of my newest songs “The South Will Rise Again”, a tribute to the victims in the Alabama tornado earlier this year, which brought the house down!  To our surprise, we were asked back up by Tommy, the evening’s host, whereupon we were told “I hope you two have a song together, because you’re up!” We looked at each other, laughed, and then decided to give a new co-write called “Live It Up Now (Free and Easy)” a try… It went off really well and, at the end of the night, we were so pleased to have been named the contest winners! (Photo after being awarded the prize above.) It was a terrific evening, lots of fun, totally unexpected, and well worth the drive up to Decatur, GA!  I love Eddie's Attic, one of the best venues in the southeast where Sugarland and John Mayer both got their starts...
