Erin Rae
with She Returns From War
at 7th St Entry

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Erin Rae is on her Lighten Up And Try Tour. The new live album Lighten Up & Try: Live & From The Heart is out now on Thirty Tigers.

We caught Rae in Jan 2023 and said, “The evening began with a generous fifty-minute set from Nashville singer-songwriter Erin Rae, in support of her newest solo full-length, Lighten Up (the title of which, is a not-so-subtle reminder to herself to not take things too seriously).
“I’ll start with my saddest song” she deadpanned, strumming “Mind / Heart” from the newest record. She described 2018’s “Love Like Before” as her “summer jam, my almost-mid-tempo song” to polite laughter and one of the common threads between she and the headliner, is that both new records were produced by the wunderkind of the modern Laurel Canyon sound, Jonathan Wilson (with several Big Time Band members also guesting on it).”

She Returns From War to open.
