Erin Smith

About Me

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
