CRITIC’S PICK: The “Lighten Up and Try Tour” brings Nashville’s Erin Rae back on the road to promote last year’s Lighten Up release, her third, and a new live album based on those songs. She once organized and hosted a show focused on 70s soft rock of the Carpenters/Carole King/Bread variety, heavy on the Laurel Canyon vibe, and those strains are evident in her somewhat retro music. Rae’s hushed, dulcet voice, and intimate vibe creates honeyed songs that are mellow, moving and melodic. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Three years after the release of her critically acclaimed debut, Putting On Airs, Nashville-raised singer-songwriter Erin Rae shares an intimate, honest, and playful version of herself through her sophomore album Lighten Up. Produced by Jonathan Wilson, and recorded in the musically hallowed grounds of California’s Topanga Canyon, the album represents a sonic and inner shift for Rae. In it, she embraces more of her influences, like baroque-pop, cosmic country, and indie-folk songs while mirroring a more compassionate self-view she calls “accepting my humanness.”Erin Rae, Bryan Cates: The EARL | 09/20/2023 8:00 PM
