   About The Erins
Press photos courtesy of Josh Cordell and Ben Moon. Check out some more of their wonderful photography at www.joshcordell.com and www.moonfoto.com or www.benmoon.com.

Since heading stateside from New Zealand in 2005, Erin Cole-Baker has been bringing her heavenly vocals, emotive lyrics, and home-cooked, hand crafted chord progressions to various venues on the west coast. After wandering into fellow Erin (Zurflu) in the sweet mountain air of Central Oregon, the two immediately bonded while dabbling in the local bluegrass scene. Their seamless vocal harmonies developed effortlessly and the instrumentation followed suit as Zurflu detoured her violin skills off the classical highway and followed Cole-Baker down the less trodden and often unknown road of the singer/songwriter. They agreed to call themselves The Erins, and thus the duo was born.

Shortly following the release of their first full length album, The Year of Hello and Goodbye, The Erins took their music across the states in a VW van, en route to medical school on the east coast. After playing a full fall schedule performing in DC, Virginia, and Delaware, The Erins parted ways for the year, reuniting in Bend for a full summer of musical bliss.

With three years of medical school almost complete for Zurflu and a full length solo album by Cole-Baker being pressed and packaged as we speak, the two are very excited for the opportunity to reunite for a European touring adventure.

The Erins have high hopes of making the world a better place, starting by simply sharing their music with everyone they come into contact with.

Hear what others have to say........

Link here to full text newspaper articles "Two of a Kind" and "The Erins Head East"

"Touches of Lisa Loeb, Melissa Etheridge and Tracy Chapman are carefully woven around Erin Cole-Baker’s songwriting and Erin Zurflu’s proficient accompaniment. “The Year of Hello and Goodbye” is a solid record, built upon strata of folk sounds that are not aimed at appealing to the indie scene, but closer to that of the Indigo Girls. If you are a fan of any of the aforementioned artists, then this album is a worthy addition to your collection. — LGLP

On Tap: The Washington, DC metro area's magazine for music, entertainment, nightlife and culture. - October 2007

"The Erins are a magical combination of beautifully crafted songs and gifted musical ability on their respective instruments. Served on a platter of natural harmony, their music lifts the soul and is delivered with such a passion that it is very difficult not to utterly fall beneath their delightfull spell. Once heard, never forgotten!" Andrew White - August 2007

"The Erins (Erin Cole-Baker and Erin Zurflu) combined to form one of the most talented and imaginative acoustic/folk bands we've heard in a long time. The guitar and violin work is exact, yet unpredictable. There is an obvious musical-bond between these two. Their music is natural, not forced and their harmonies are a perfect match. The instrumentals are just as thought-inducing as their lyrics. " Bendnights.com- 2007

"If you ever get a chance to hear them, go. They're moving to the East Coast at the end of summer, so catch them before they're famous. Sweet harmonies, wonderful songs and some cool twists on covers. Just the two of them, with guitar, fiddle and sometimes banjo. I know they have a busy gig schedule, so you'll have lots of opportunities to catch them several times before they're gone." Live On the Fly Radio- April, 2007
