Lunsford released four dynamic singles in 2025 that have defined her vibrant, story-teller, Americana sound. She plans to release a full length album in Summer 2026 and share a few more singles leading up to the full record. On her first single this past year, "Watch Out For Deer", Lunsford shares a bittersweet story about the Southern farewell, “be safe and watch out for deer,” while crooning about the comfort of returning home and the pain of driving away. She paints a nostalgic picture of tearful nighttime drives from her home place, accompanied by a soaring vocal melody and a sparkling clawhammer banjo. Her second single, “Last I Heard”, is a “meticulously crafted emotional time capsule, a shimmering letter of closure written with the wisdom of hindsight and the lingering ache of a past wound. It’s a gut-punch of a breakup song that is at once dreamy and devastating, a testament to Lunsford’s profound talent for turning personal pain into universal art.” - Country Music New Int.

Then with her 3rd single of the summer, Lunsford addresses food insecurity and the scarcity mindset in her Appalachian community care anthem, “Strawberries.” She toured central Virginia and raised over $16,000 for local food pantries. “The [Strawberries] tour reflects Lunsford’s approach to using her platform for mutual aid. By connecting her music directly to fundraising efforts, she’s demonstrating how artists can embed community care into their work – turning release celebrations into opportunities for collective support…This model of artist-led community organizing shows how music can serve as both creative expression and social infrastructure in our region,” - Richmond Grid.

Lunsford’s final single for 2025, "Crossing Belvidere”, [weaves] delicate instrumentation and evocative vocals, and reshapes personal misfortune into universal reflection, offering a sense of forward momentum despite life’s obstacles. Vocally, Lunsford is emotionally brilliant as ever, moving prudently from somber tones in the opening to soaring frenzy in the song’s worldly bridge and then finally to poised conviction in its final chorus, capturing the emotions of a whirlwind day all under three minutes. - The Auricular

The follow-up to 2020’s "The Damsel," Lunsford’s new album, “Rhinestones,” features the nostalgia of sweet tea and front porch rocking chairs alongside the present-day experience of a young woman living in 2026 America. Drawing inspiration from Dolly Parton, Kacey Musgraves, and Gillian Welch, Lunsford writes of her belief in equality for all, career milestones, unresolved heartbreaks, and family roots. She incorporates family traditions into her new album through the artwork and lyrics, which feature cross-stitch, embroidery, and crochet designs. The Southwest Virginia-raised musician’s second full-length album blends these stories into an interwoven form of folk and Americana, spun together by her clever lyricism and expressive guitar and banjo playing.

NPR Music has featured three of Lunsford’s Tiny Desk Entries, praising her “impressive, expressive voice and some serious guitar chops” in one entry, and her “mesmerizing voice and fantastic vocal technique” in another. Rolling Stone Country named Lunsford one of the "10 Best Things We Saw at FloydFest 2019." Her most recent album, "The Damsel," premiered exclusively in American Songwriter in 2020, and in 2022, Style Weekly wrote a feature on Erin & The Wildfire's latest album, "Touchy Feely," describing her vocal versatility as “a voice that can go anywhere and do anything.” She was an Artist At Large and the lead vocalist in Roosterwalk's 2023 House Band. Lunsford’s original song "Rhinestones" was a semi-finalist for the 2024 Songwriters Guild of America Country Award.
