A roots crooner with a feminist rock edge, Erin Bonnie is an Americana folk-rock mama and fiddle player with style and presence to boot. With a rural Western background in American roots music traditions, she brings a vintage appeal and welcoming ease to her modern East Coast approach to songwriting.
With two albums under her oft-buckled belt, she blends elements of singer-songwriter, blues, folk, country, and rock. Her songs will take you through an ever-changing landscape of fiddle strings, funky rhythms, and belted melodies paired with storytelling lyrics that undulate and pulse with larger ultimate truths.
When she's not at home brewing single-origin coffees one glorious cup at a time, playing Dungeons and Dragons with her best-forever ladies, or at work professing songwriting tools and techniques to the next generation of artists coming out of Berklee, you can catch her headlining shows from Cambridge to Connecticut, or as a supporting musician for Boston country diva Elisa Smith.
Her career highlights include a nomination for Best in State (Massachusetts) at the 2021 New England Music Awards, an honorable mention in American Songwriter's lyric-writing competition for her song "Drunk on Love," and a placement for her song "Love Was Meant to Burn" on CBS's The Young and the Restless.
