Erin Durant + Luke Sweeney

Erin Durant song tends to work in the manner of afternoon light, slipping in as subtle reflections, but quietly overtaking an entire room with a wild radiance. Maybe it’s the shimmer of her voice, the grounding presence of the piano, maybe it’s the nimble way her lyrics dart across subjects, but her orchestrated folk songs seem to arrive from another time, cascading over on some well-traveled wind. Erin Durant is celebrating the release of her third album, Firetrail, out May 16 (Ruination Record Co.). Originally from New Orleans, Erin is currently residing in Topanga Canyon, California.

Luke Sweeney’s transformation from trouble-making troubadour to profound storyteller is marked by four critically acclaimed albums and an EP of compositions that lean on “humor and irreverence—both calling cards of Sweeney's songwriting” (Portland Mercury), as well as collaborations with the likes of Tim Cohen and Healing Potpourri. The self-dubbed ‘Calm Poseur’ seamlessly traverses genres with “a power pop punch to gain the envy of Alex Chilton, Emmit Rhodes, Eric Carmen and everyone in-between and thereafter” (Week in Pop). His 2022 album RISHI is “a mesmerizing blend of future jazz and George Harrison’s Indian influences, celebrating the healing power of music” (SF Chronicle). Luke Sweeney’s continued evolution, both as an artist and a person, signals a profound commitment to sonic exploration and soul-baring storytelling that few artists today can match. His next release ‘Novel Tea’ is due out August 29th via Future Gods, with a series of tours to follow.
