ERIN ASH SULLIVAN

"A special talent that reminds me of early Dar Williams"
- John Platt, WFUV

"Rootsy grace"
- John Apice, Americana Highways

A New England native, Erin Ash Sullivan’s music reflects a deep sense of place, and her lyrics—sometimes heartfelt, sometimes funny—are always authentic, harnessing the power of story to build connection. Victor Infante of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette describes her music as “delicate and evocative” with songs full of “nuance and emotional resonance.”

Erin’s 2021 debut solo album, We Can Hear Each Other, reached #10 on the FAI DJ Chart, and in 2023, she was a “Most Wanted” selection from the Grassy Hill Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. An award-winning songwriter, she has been the winner of the Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter Competition, the recipient of the Mark Erelli Judge's Choice Award in the New England Songwriting Competition, and a finalist in the Great American Song Contest and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Her second album, Signposts and Marks, is out on streaming platforms July 26.

Erin is also the four-time winner of her hometown's Fourth of July pie-eating contest. And of course there's a song about that. (longer bio >>)
