Биография

Erin McKeown is a musician, writer, and producer known internationally for their prolific disregard of stylistic boundaries. Their brash and clever electric guitar playing is something to see. Their singing voice is truly unique – clear, cool, and collected. A familiar presence on NPR and the BBC, McKeown’s songs have also appeared on numerous television shows and commercials. They have spent the last decade and a half playing nearly 200 shows a year while releasing 11 studio albums and refining a distinct and challenging mix of American musical styles. McKeown’s first original musical, Miss You Like Hell, co-written with Tony & Pulitzer winner Quiara Alegria Hudes, had its world premiere in 2016 at La Jolla Playhouse. It opened Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in 2018 where it was nominated for 3 Outer Critics Circle Awards (Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Score) and 5 Drama Desk Awards (including Best Music, Best Lyrics, Best Orchestrations). Their latest solo release is 2021's KISS OFF KISS. “[Their] operative mood is effortless grace” – LA Weekly “In several distinctive ways- voice, dynamic subtlety, and sheer songwriting ability- Erin McKeown is in a class of [their] own.” – Sunday Times (UK)
