Clubhouse Records have just released ‘Soon Enough’ the debut album from Nashville-based singer and songwriter Erin Rae and her band The Meanwhiles, and now she's touring the release - stopping off for a date in Tingewick Village Hall in Buckingham on Saturday (October 29).
A beautifully realised mix of Nashvillian cool and Laurel Canyon sensibilities, Soon Enough marks the arrival of one of Music City’s brightest young stars.
At once charming, it's an album that has soundtracked the lazy days of summer and will no doubt feature on many end of year lists.
Growing up in Jackson, Tennessee, Erin got an early introduction to folk music at home. Her parents were both part-time musicians, playing their own brand of American roots music at churches, county fairs and coffee shops in west Tennessee. Starting as early as five years old, she would join them for a song or two.
Two decades later, she's still spending her time onstage — this time as the main act.
As the leader of Erin Rae and the Meanwhiles, she walks the line between old-school folk and modern Americana, creating a sound that nods to her influences while pushing ahead toward something new.
It's music that breathes, filled with pedal steel, vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, bright bursts of melody and plenty of space.
Doors open at 7.30pm, and tickets are £10 in advance, two quid more on the door.
