Fans pack in to witness the unique power and sweet sound of the young talented singer and songsmith known simply as ERYN. Often compared with her musical influences, the bluesy sound of Susan Tedeschi, the rocky growl of Janis Joplin, the sweet sensitive Jewel and smokiness of Norah Jones, ERYN has won over many crowds and hearts. With such a unique sound she has commanded the interest of a Grammy award winning record producer Jason Corsaro (Madonna, Sound Garden, Peter Gabriel, Mariah Carey to name a few) and will be working on her debut album with him.
Born in Washington, DC, ERYN moved to the heart of NJ at the age of eight. Inspired by her musical family, she has been writing and crafting songs since early childhood. "It has always been my passion, my therapeutic outlet," she mentions in her soft voice.
ERYN pours her soul into her music and puts it on display. Her songs make it easy for others to step inside and see both the love and torment she has embraced during her young life; Experiences including good and bad relationships and the inspirational birth of Emily, her three year-old daughter. She understands that life will always have moments to either embrace or overcome. She uniquely places those moments into her music to share with others. ERYN's music is real, full of feeling, and tells stories that people relate to and enjoy listening to. That seems to be an endangered species in the music industry today.
First time listeners have said, "Her voice will rock your socks off." They aren't kidding. While her blues/rock songs like "Hurt So Bad" are full of attitude, songs like "Simple" and "I Don't Know" are comforting and understanding of the human condition.
ERYN recently performed in New Orleans with national touring band Soul Project (www.soulprojectnola.com) and recorded vocals on Walter "Wolfman" Washington's upcoming album (www.walterwolfmanwashington.com). She won over packed audiences in her brief stay and fans and fellow musicians are eagerly awaiting her return.
ERYN has performed all over the tri-state area at various clubs, venues, cathedrals, and music halls with bands including Sundance (www.TheSundanceBand.net) and Easily Amuzed as the lead singer, and as a back up singer for a well know area band Jody Joseph and the Average Joes. Currently she is fronting local NJ band Stronger Than Dirt (www.strongerthandirt.com). She has gathered members for a new band (The Eryn Shewell Band) to showcase her original music, as well as playing duet and trio gigs.
If you haven't made it out to hear and see ERYN live you really should make it a night. You're in for a treat!!
