Finally the full and expanded version of Small Circle!!!

Singer/songwriter Tom Palminteri started Eric's In Oregon in the early 90's at SUNY Purchase to showcase his songs. Over the years the line-up has changed but has remained Tomâs song writing project. Small Circle is an album that combines the best of Ericâs In Oregonâs recordings with other live and lost tracks.

On this expanded version of Small Circle you get many of Tom's best songs âOn a Barbwire,â November,â âGuitar Man,â âSpring Has Gone,â and of coarse âSmall Circle.â This version of Small Circle also includes the BACCA award winning âWaiting for the No.12 (Maybe weâll be famous)â and âStrong." Both feature guest Lisa Smith on backing vocals!

Small Circle also includes two live tracks from one of Tomâs solo performances âDreamed it was youâ and âAngeloâs Shoe's."

Many of the songs on here have been played for years within the different line-ups of Eric's In Oregon. Small Circle, the original EP ( the 1st eight songs ) were recorded in 1998-99 w/ Lisa Smith at Stombox studio except "Waiting for the No.12" and "Strong" were recorded with Matt and Todd in 1993. "Waiting for the No.12" also appears on Music From Purchase 93.' Tracks 11 & 12,"Dreamed it was you" and "Angelo's Shoe's" were recorded live at Finleyâs Pub by John Keller on 3/27/02.

"The bonus tracks on here are just a few of my favorites from live gigs and other line-ups of Eric's in Oregon. I felt it really filled out the album. We put a lot of time and sweat into these tracks. I really want to thank all of the people who played and work on this CD with me especially Scott, Bill, and John! I hope everyone enjoys this version of Small Circle"- Tom Palminteri
