Erin Rae (formerly a part of Erin Rae & the Meanwhiles) is an American folk pop musician from Nashville, Tennessee.[1]
According to Rolling Stone, Erin Rae "makes smooth-edged music for Sunday afternoons" and "her arrangements — anchored by pedal-steel guitar and the steady strum of an acoustic guitar — may be rooted in modern-day indie folk, but the songs themselves rustle up comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne".[2]
Erin Rae began her singer/songwriter career as Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles in 2012 with the release of an EP titled Crazy Talk.[3] In 2015, Erin Rae released her debut full-length album with The Meanwhiles titled Soon Enough.[2] [4] [5] [6] The album was recorded in only two days.[1]
In July 2015, Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles recorded a Daytrotter session at Big Light Studio in Nashville.[7]
Erin Rae's second full-length album, Putting On Airs, was released in June 2018.[8]
In 2021 she as a solo artist was inter alia part of the Newport Folk Festival in July.[9]
Erin Rae released her third full-length album, Lighten Up, in February 2022,[10] followed by a live album, Lighten Up & Try: Live & From The Heart, in August 2023.[11]
She was featured on Tyler Childers' album, Rustin’ in the Rain, released in September 2023.[12]
