With a strong, soulful, pop-country sound, Erin Grand is a refreshing addition to the country music scene. Erin’s love for music along with the opportunities for her to perform started at a very young age. She grew up singing in her church choir and learned to play the guitar and piano along the way. At the young age of 12, she was asked to be the lead singer of a youth cover band called, Ageless. The band performed for years at many regional festivals and private events. Erin and the lead guitar player (Madison Straw) went on to form a duo called, Erin & Madison. The two traveled and performed together for 4 years and before she graduated from high school, Erin knew that music was what she wanted to pursue full time.
Erin Grand has written numerous songs and recently started a new project in Nashville with hit songwriters, Marty Dodson & Clay Mills of Songtown and Vibe City. She continues to travel back and forth between the two cities to write, record and perform with new music set to be released in 2019.

Debbie Duncan may be considered the upper Midwest’s “best-kept-musical secret”, but she has become a local legend and treasure in her home of Minneapolis. Her personality, vitality, and versatility all contribute to that fact. She is a terrific entertainer, and this is certainly part of her appeal. Most importantly, however, “she’s a superb vocalist, probably the finest in the area.” [Bob Protzman, St. Paul Pioneer Press]
