"My Grandmother was my musical mentor. She would play rock n roll
(Queen, Beatles, Eagles)or would blast Top 40 on the radio every minute
of the day. She would sit me on her lap as a baby and we would play the
piano and sing. This was my life, and still is today. I loved every
minute of it. I took piano lessons and later guitar, and sang in the
choir at school."
Erin Alden has been a driving force in the music scene for several
years now. As a busy session singer and recording artist, to writing
and recording her own music, she's making a name for herself very
quickly.
With songs being placed in TV / Film like "Faded" in the indy film
"Ordinary Killer", Erin continues to write memorable hooks that you
don't easily forget.
"I think that it was through my friends, some of whom are already
notable musicians, that really made me want to try harder and break out
on my own. With their encouragement and to my own surprise I found that
I could do it. I am able to express my feelings ... everything ...
through music, my music."
She is part of the new all star team "Star Lodge Entertainment",
and has 2 cuts on Grammy Nominated Producer
Headfridge's new album titled "Rogue Fogu".
It's a very exciting time for me. I'm in the studio, writing lots of
new music, working with people I never dreamed as a little girl I would
get to work with. It's honestly the best time of my life. As they say "
sit back and enoy the ride !" well, I definitely am doing just that."
Nice praises:

What can I say? if you don't know who Erin Alden is..you should. Her music is so addicting that I found myself humming several of her tunes, like Story of the Week and Miserably Happy two days later. That in my mind means they are hits. Dennis Thomas-Los Angeles Variety News

As any of us know that covers of songs can be just terrific, sometimes even better than the original. Some of the Beatles covers I’ve heard of late that just stick, like “Hello Goodbye†by Erin Alden, which really plays on my mind in the best possible way and with a take that is wholly unique. No, I’m not saying Alden’s version of “Hello Goodbye†is “better†than the original, only that it offers us a different flavor and one that I, personally like. In this way, Erin Alden succeeds. sadi ranson-polizzotti
