About the show
This is one of only a couple add on shows in Uk after Erin’s Festival appearance
Since the release of her critically acclaimed 2018 debut Putting On Airs, Erin Rae has emerged as one of Nashville’s foremost singer-songwriters. Rae’s most recent release, 2022’s Lighten Up, found her in a period of intense evolution. Both personally and musically, teaming up with new collaborators like Jonathan Wilson, Kevin Morby and Hand Habits. The resulting album, which earned praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR Music and more, took listeners on a swelling journey through psychedelia, cosmic country and Topanga Canyon-inspired indie-folk. In 2019, Rae was nominated for Emerging Act of The Year at the Americana Music Awards and in 2023 she earned the “Jim James Award” for most sit-ins at Newport Folk Festival, guesting during sets from Margo Price & Friends, Tommy Prine, Slaughter Beach Dog, Brittany Howard, Mavis Staples, and more. She has also supported tours Gregory Alan Isakov, Ray La Montagne, Angel Olsen, Hiss Golden Messenger, Jenny Lewis, Jason Isbell, Iron & Wine, Lord Huron, Julia Jacklin, Father John Misty, and more.
Featuring - Erin Rae
Growing up in Jackson, Tennessee but now residing in her adopted home of Nashville, Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles walk the line between old-school folk and modern Americana, filled with pedal steel, vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, bright bursts of melody and plenty of space.
Rae’s distinct voice has drawn comparison to a diverse range of contemporaries from Jenny Lewis and Phoebe Bridgers to 60s and 70s singer-songwriters including The Carpenters and Janis Ian. Putting On Airs released on John Paul White’s Single Lock records in 2018, is the perfect soundscape for Rae’s soothing vocals and a genre-fusing mix of indie-rock, psych-rock and folk.
