Join JD Eicher and his band in the Birdfish Ballroom on Friday, October 17th at 7 p.m. in celebrating 20 years of performing original music. These select shows will feature special guest opening acts and a unique set of music from JD - including solo and full band performances.
20 YEARS - A NOTE FROM JD:
At the end of high school and into college (20 years ago!!), I started playing my original songs for anyone who would listen. I played on campus (shout out Westminster!); I played in coffee shops; I booked random shows in garages and fields across Pennsylvania. And I just never stopped. The joy of writing music and then getting to perform it became the pursuit.
It’s been sort of a hot air ballon of a career - high highs and low lows and a winding path the whole way. But the band and I have been able to keep this indie project alive thanks to two things:
Stubbornness
The kind people who have shown up for the music
The support has meant the world.
We want to celebrate these 20 years with some special shows. New music, old music. Solo acoustic, full band. Stories, special guests.
I hope you’ll be there. You’re why we’re still here.

An artist who tours in the US and abroad, Eicher has shared billing with a wide range of well-known acts, including Coldplay, Maroon 5, Train, The Zombies, Sister Hazel, Pete Yorn, Red Wanting Blue, and more.
With several full-length albums to his credit, JD was enlisted to create the soundtrack to bestselling author Nicholas Sparks’s (The Notebook, A Walk To Remember) 20th novel, Two By Two.
