DETAILS magazine calls Alt-Country blues artist Erin Sax Seymour, "Tough and sweet, smart and streetwise, her melodies mesmerizing...Sax is the real thing…".
Title track for Erin's debut CD GOOD GIRL has been in rotation on CMT and VH1. This year she has been signed to perform the Janis Joplin song 'Piece of My Heart' for the major motion picture "Black Heart Road" and the title track for the feature film "Red Robin" starring Jeremy Sisto, Hill Harper and Claire Forlani. This years endorsements include TAKAMINE GUITARS and 4STROKES JEANS.
Touring coast to coast, Sax Seymour and her five piece band “Hands Off My Sister” have been performing at legendary venues across the United States and Europe including B.B. King's, Tipitina's, The House of Blues and The Triple Door, as well as opening for great acts such as Robert Earl Keen, Marshall Crenshaw and The Samples. Sax Seymour has been a showcase artist at the SXSW and International Folk Alliance music festivals, featured Emerging Artist at this summer's Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and has been the spotlight performer most recently on National Public Radio's 'Performance Place', 'Caravan Blues Radio Hour', and ‘Alchemist Playground’, with upcoming feature profiles in In Style Magazine both in Europe and the United States.
Sax started writing songs as a teenager to help her through tough times and then as a way to record the experiences she witnessed while traveling the world as a documentary filmmaker. Whether it was living in hiding in an Armenian Monastery, following Baptist speaking in tongues at the River Jordan, filming burial rituals around the world or documenting life inside a Texas men’s prison, she has seen some of life’s many twist and turns.
Through it all she understood that there really are just a handful of stories and moods that every person comes across in their lifetime, no matter their circumstance. Her music is the heart of these stories. It is about the character, integrity, and flaws that we all share as we alternately stumble and fly through our worlds.

RECENT PRESS
“...Tough and sweet, smart and streetwise, her melodies are mesmerizing.
With echoes—and the songwriting gifts—of Lucinda Williams
and Aimee Mann, Sax is the real thing...- DETAILS MAGAZINE
"Good Girl" is one of those CDs that you leave in the player for a week on infinite repeat. She writes about going out on a limb and taking chances, sometimes that means having a reckless heart, but it's better than no heart at all…Smart money says Sax Seymour is about to break, go see her... and sit 10 feet away just to say you did.” - FREEMAN PRESS
"With the songwriting skills of Nanci Griffith, the rawness of Johnny Cash and the mystery of Loretta Lynn, you're getting close to Erin Sax Seymour. A singer-songwriter at the beginning of a remarkable career" -VH1 Music
“…Individuals that are listening to Sax Seymour only get seven shots to really gain an appreciation for her on “Good Girl”, but the differences presented between each track is more than enough to create a fire burning in any fan of country or smart pop. It may be 2008 or 2009 before Sax Seymour comes out with another album, but chances are good that individuals will wait that long to hear more from this artist. Give this EP a go and see what everyone is saying.”-NEUFUTUR
“Try as I might I couldn't come up with one comparison to anyone in my mental Rolodex, under the country heading. No wonder. I'd been flipping through the wrong category. Seymour doesn't remind me of any country artist because she really doesn't fit in that category herself...If comparisons are to be drawn (even if it's outside the lines) Seymour can be said to be equal parts Janis Joplin... and, well, YOU give it a shot….And forget the cutesy Jerry McGuire line: "You had me at Hello". Seymour had me by the end of her first cut wherein she slips in an excerpt of Harry Chapin's "Cat's In The Cradle". Simply lovely…”-ANTIMUSIC
"I was bowled over by Erin Sax Seymour the first time I caught her set. Suffice to say, I've been back everytime she's performed…the next date…you should be there too!" -INDIE SOUNDS NY
