Erin McKeown is an impossible woman to nail down. She’s a multi-talented instrumentalist, able to rock on guitar, mandolin, banjo, and piano. Her voice can go from silky smooth to a howl in the blink of an eye. These traits give her the ability to effortlessly move between folk, rock, blues, and jazz.
Though a Virginia native, she got her start in college at Brown University, playing all over New England and releasing her debut album Monday Morning Cold. After touring with the likes of Ani DiFranco, Dan Bern, and Dar Williams she released her second album Distillation.
Erin Mckeown - Queen Of Quiet
A bouncy little number with a great guitar lick and fun lyrics. This song is aural velcro; once it gets stuck in your head it’s way hard to get out. In a good way though, unlike most songs by Journey, the Meow Mix theme, or the theme from The Muppet Show.
Erin Mckeown - Paper Moon
Sing You Sinners is a collection of jazz standards from the 1920s through 1950s, and “Paper Moon” is the standout of the album. She gives the tune a bit of a calypso flair that really makes it pop.
