Erin Ivey is Austin’s folk darling!
by Butler Bad in Musician Reviews
Erin Ivey hales from Austin, Texas and is one of the city’s beloved folk artists. She was voted one of the city’s top 4 unsigned artists in 2007.
Erin Ivey is a new artist for me as I just heard her for the first time on Dec. 20th when she opened for Joe Purdy. Her amazing voice, both haunting and angelic with a touch of sensuality, and quirky stage banter immediately endeared her to the sold out crowd. She played for about 45 minutes and immediately after the show, I bought all of her music.
Since 2007, Erin has independently released and toured behind her first full-length album (The 11th Floor) and two EPs (Austin Lullabies and the Sweet Little).
Her single “Chocolate” is an infectious little number that has her voice dripping over her guitar.
On Erin’s “Sweet Little” EP, she does an amazing cover of Radiohead’s “Climbing Up the Walls”.

Erin,
Thanks for the update on the new album. I will check it out and add the review to my blog. It was great to meet you at the Joe Purdy show at Stubs. If you make it to Fort Worth, let me know. I will gather the troops and get folks out to see you.
