Bio
.. .. .. ...... .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..enter your email....zipcode...... .. .. ...... ...... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. Ten years into a dynamic career marked by 7 LPs, 2 EPs and a live concert album, Erin McKeown delivers Hundreds of Lions, her first collection of original songs since 2005’s We Will Become Like Birds. .... At the center of the album, the song “The Lions” brims with bright piano, cathedral spire atmosphere and traces of carnival-noir pop as Erin sings, “There’s a risk, there’s a twist, in anything worth doing,” with a voice clear and strong as glass ribbon. .... "Airborne metaphors carry the songwriter Erin McKeown all the way through her fourth album, ..We Will Become Like Birds.. (Nettwerk). Her clear mezzo-soprano sounds perpetually optimistic, and so do the syncopated electric guitar parts she picks and plucks through the sparsely arranged but fully realized songs." ....- Jon Pareles, New York Times.... .... "Her operative mood is effortless grace." ....- LA Weekly.... .... "Her playing is so muscular, her arrangements so well conceived that she succeeds brilliantly. As with all truly great guitarists, the wonder is less in her chops than her choices."....- Boston Globe .... .... "In several distinctive ways - voice, dynamic subtlety, and sheer songwriting ability - Erin McKeown is in a class of her own."....- Sunday Times (UK)........ ..
