   About Erin Smith
Erin Smith is a singer/songwriter who lives in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. In 2008, her song "Misery Bay" was a finalist in the Great Lakes Songwriting Contest and three other songs received honorable mentions. She was also an alternate finalist in the Big Top Chautauqua Singer/Songwriting Contest.

"Erin combines a poet’s gift for words with mesmerizing music. The crowning touch is her voice, which is the perfect match to the expressiveness of the stories she tells. Her depiction of the Upper Peninsula is brilliant. She knows the terrain better than anyone I’ve ever heard tell about it. The intimacy of her work is really what touches you." --Bill Payne

Rumor has it that you may be getting fired up to play out someday soon. Sure hope so.
Hope your summer is wonderful.

Erin Smith,
Thanks for finding me. The songs you've posted sound great, which really isn't much of a surprise considering your talent. Is there a cd available? If so, where? If not, why not?
All is well in the u.p.? The puppies? Teaching? Gigging?
Inquiring minds you know...
