HUNDREDS OF LIONS
by: ERIN MCKEOWN Her first release on the most excellent Righteous Babe label, this intelligently written, catchy album is a perfect blend of up-tempo and slow acoustically layered tracks, resulting in harmonious gorgeous songs that truly display Erin's versatility as an artist. Crafted over three years, an unprecedented, luxurious amount of time, allowed producer Sam Kassirer (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine) the freedom to produce his vision of a watershed, modern Erin album, with her voice at it's center. Highlights include "To a Hammer," "The Foxes," "(Put the Fun Back in) Funeral" and of course, the center of the album, "The Lions." |

LAFAYETTE
by: ERIN MCKEOWN Named after the address of New York's much-loved Joe's Pub, Lafayette is the acclaimed songwriter's first official live album and an on-record invitation into her other world, the stage, where she spends more than half of every year knocking 'em dead nightly. Over 13 tracks, Lafayette captures the energy and musicality of McKeown as a bandleader and entertainer extraordinaire. Lafayette is one night in the life of a performer at the peak of her powers. |

SING YOU SINNERS
by: ERIN MCKEOWN This acclaimed songwriter, virtuoso guitarist and remarkable expressibe singer is now taking on a collection of gems from the classic era of American songwriting spanning from the 30s to the 50s. Standards these aren't - at least not by the time Erin's done with them! The sprightly "Get Happy" is distinguished by a remarkable fresh take and "Paper Moon" is reinvented as a calypso stomp. Other highlights include the title track and "Coucou." |

WE WILL BECOME LIKE BIRDS
by: ERIN MCKEOWN Her most personal and sonically adventurous album to date, this album fuses raw guitar melodies with piano, electronics and her clear, rich voice. Produced by Tucker Martine (Modest Mouse), the disc explores the emotional parameters of separation and strength, intense sadness and raw possibility. "In several distinctive ways - voice, dynamic subtlety, and sheer songwriting ability - Erin McKeown is in a class of her own." (Sunday Times UK) |

GRAND
by: ERIN MCKEOWN 25-year-old Erin Mckeown is a rare find. "Grand" is a wonderful and diverse record pulling its mood from straight up pop n'roll, to New Orleans jazz, folk, fractured blues and more. As long as mu sic fans continue to yearn for the acerbic wit of Randy Newman, the innovative stylings of Bjork and Liz Phair, and the inticate arrangements of Elvis Costello, Erin's latest and third full-length record, "Grand" will prove a necessity in any music lover's collection. |
