about Erin

Erin Lunsford is an award-winning singer/songwriter from the foothills of Appalachia in Fincastle, VA, now based in Richmond, VA. Her music is buttered, pound cake-folk that’s equal parts sweet, delicate, rich, and warm. Erin’s songs are built on a foundation of bluegrass and thoughtful, Blue Ridge Mountain storytelling that showcase her self-styled guitar, banjo, and keyboard melodies. She's an accomplished writer - just last year, she was a semi-finalist in the Songwriters Guild of America Country Song Contest for her song “Rhinestones.” And she's a titan of voice - her vocals have been described as soulful, expressive, and downright heavenly and her effortless versatility has been compared to Chris Stapleton, YEBBA, and Susan Tedeschi. Launching her new tender, storyteller, roots album in 2026, Lunsford is a rising voice in folk music.
