Erin Slaver plays with the band JD & The Straight Shot who shared the news with fans. They are sad to temporarily be losing Slaver as she continues her pregnancy, but are looking forward to her return once the baby is born! A true musician in the making!

“This has been a truly bittersweet night, and one at its finest.
Tonight we played such a fun show for a great crowd at ‪#‎moulinblues‬whose cheers were so strong we had no choice but to play an encore (and none other than our cover of Pink Cadillac), we all got the chance to pour our hearts into solos, and we had some of the most fun we have ever had on stage.
However, tonight we also had to say (temporarily!) goodbye to none other but the immensely talented, truly beautiful inside and out, lovely fiddle slayer, Erin Slaver.

Don’t worry, she will be back! But first, she must take care of the little one growing underneath her dress.
@erinslaver, you will be greatly missed during our shows and shenanigans the next couple of months, but we couldn’t be more happy for you!!! We love you, and we’ll be counting the days until we can snatch you back up. (We’re sure you’ll be doing the same..) Cheers to you, and we can’t wait to meet the newest addition to this ragtag crew!”
