Erika Luckett creates a powerful expression of world-inspired music. Poetic and sensual, her voice conveys lyrical depth, and her fiery, innovative guitar playing creates an orchestra of sound with only six strings. Performing Songwriter magazine introduces her this way: "To be blessed with prolific songwriting skills and a captivating voice is one thing. But to absolutely master an instrument on top of that is indeed an enormous accomplishment.â€
Distinctions between styles fade beneath the undeniable talent and raw passion that distinguishes Erika's music. Whether singing in English, Spanish, French, Italian or Portuguese, with lyrics that capture the intimacy of our human experience and melodies that make distant lands feel like home, her songs invite the listener into terrain that is both vast and familiar. Her energetic exchange transcends the power of sound and penetrates the hearts of her wide-reaching fan base. Some listeners have likened the experience to being “struck by a bolt of goodness†and feeling like they have taken an inspired trip to a “mental spaâ€. Others claim she has taken them on a “trip around the world, and a trip around the soulâ€.
Not only has she captivated the hearts of her audiences, Ms. Luckett has also captured attention from the critic’s circle. Erika has been honored as “One of the 100 Most Outstanding Women of the Year†(along with Queen Elizabeth, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna) by Modern Women Today magazine, her music has earned a slew of awards including: Best Album of the Year (2006 -“Unexpectedâ€-JPF Music Awards), and Best International Album (2006 - “Unexpectedâ€- World Art Celebrities Journal), Best Independent Release of the Year (2003 - “My Little Crimeâ€-Acoustic Guitar Magazine), Best Jazz Vocal Album (2003 - “My Little Crime†-JPF Music Awards).
While her recordings have received national and international recognition, the best way to experience Erika’s music is live. To encounter the wonder of Erika Luckett live is to transcend “music as usualâ€.
