ABOUT THE ALBUM


Erik Janson's "Morning In Paradise" features 12 original songs penned by Janson. The album takes listeners on a journey from the early hours of ‘Morning’ on the first track to the late hours of the day on the closing track. Erik produced "Morning In Paradise" with the multi-instrumentalist Craig Ferguson.
Songs from the album have been recently featured in film and tv. "Don't Say Goodbye" aired on ABC's "Eli Stone" and "Invisible Blues" can be heard in the film "The Vicious Kind." You can also hear "The Days Grow Dark Around You" in GMC's national television advertisement for the Sierra.
Stay tuned for updates on Erik's tour, new merchandise and multi-media.

REVIEWS

"Morning in Paradise is an excellent debut from all angles - great musicianship with thorough heart-felt songwriting full of delicate harmonic and tempo changes, great hooks, crisp direct arrangements and obvious reverence for being part of the continuum of American music."
- Evan Hodge www.AmericanaRoots.com
"Erik Janson's 'Morning In Paradise' proves that sophisticated arrangements and memorable lyrics can peacefully co-exist. The production is pristine, the songs are watertight, and Janson's ability to conjure up every possible flavor of pop would reek of showboating in the hands of a less genuine artist...If records like this ever become the norm, I'll be out of a job."
- Richard Luftmensch My Old Kentucky Blog
"Janson brings a lot to the table in his debut album. He mixes genres, jumping from pop laced with jazz to country-inspired folk. A strong vocalist...and captivating live performer, Janson could easily croon his way into many women's hearts as well as their iPods."
- Brittny Ulate The Daily Titan
