Erica Michelle started playing guitar and writing songs at 14 in her hometown of Austin, Texas. Listen to her debut EP "Cry About It', and you'll hear the guts, grace and guitar licks that only the Live Music Capital of the World can teach you growing up. The singer-songwriter is influenced by the soul and blues greats, too — truth-telling women like Aretha Franklin, Sheryl Crowe, Joss Stone and fellow Texan Norah Jones. Erica sings honest stories in her unmistakable, smoky-smooth tone, “soulful, authentic…the real deal”(Ian Moore). After years of playing original songs around the city that raised her, she's following her soul into the spectacular and “one worth keeping an eye on as the city emerges from the pandemic”(Peter Blackstock, Austin American Statesman).
