MySpace Layouts Myspace LayoutsWhen McCall Erickson sings, people listen. They can't help themselves. With her emotionally candid songwriting style and her sultry, passionate vocals, she draws people in with inescapable creative force. Quickly gaining press and fan recognition in the Indie Music scene as a performing songwriter, McCall writes candidly about everyday life experiences. Raised under the wide-open Wyoming sky, moving to Utah for college, and quiting her responsible-post-college-job to chase her musical dreams and travel the world, McCall has plenty to write about. Her songs range from whimsically comical to heart piercing tearjerkers. She segues beautifully from singing about her best friend's stolen car, being a waitress in a noisy restaurant, and hilarious relationship dysfunctions to deeper issues such as grief, disillusionment, and spiritual freedom. Her refreshing lyrics, colorful vocals, and relatable songs have drawn comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones.McCall independently released her debut album “Beautiful Place” in June 2008. The album is a compilation of diverse songs all written at pivotal points over the past 2 years of her life. Of the album, she says, “I'm learning to love wherever I am in life. It's not all roses. Sometimes unexpected events bring intense periods of grief and feelings of confusion. And then sometimes I can't help but laugh. Wherever I am, I think it's such a beautiful place. There's something to gain from every experience. These songs have helped me move and heal through phases of life. Hopefully others can relate to them and get some healing and perspective as well.” ************************************************************ **** “McCall Erickson continues to captivate her audience at Salt Rock Coffee by taking them on a musical journey.
