Erin was born August 7, 1973 in Independence, MO, a suburb of Kansas City. Some of her favorite childhood memories involve listening to her dad's tapes of Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, and Heart. As she grew, she began listening to such artists as Melissa Etheridge, kd lang, The Dixie Chicks, Bonnie Raitt, and the Indigo Girls. These strong influences came together to produce her own unique blend of alt country, rock, and blues which drive her lyrics and provide the energy behind every performance.

Erin now lives in Oklahoma City with her partner Kristy, her son Dominic, and a whole zoo of animals, including 6 cats (Jason, Bailey, Lucky, Feline Dion, Charity, and Abby), and 2 dogs (Kylie and Annie).
