Biography

"Erin Lunsford is a singer-songwriter from Fincastle Virginia who releases music both on her own and as the front-woman of Richmond-based band Erin & The Wildfire. Her Tiny Desk Contest entry, "Don't Leave Me in the Dark," starts off with a charming blooper – but don't let the goofiness fool you. The song is a tale of heartbreak and missed connection that shows off her impressive, expressive voice and some serious guitar chops." — Marissa Lorusso, NPR Music, 2018 
 "Erin Lunsford uncovers the beauty of simplicity in her [Tiny Desk] entry video for "What The Fire Is Made Of." The bluesy chord progression in waltz time gives the tune a country feel while Lunsford shows off her mesmerizing voice and fantastic vocal technique. Her clever lyrics warn listeners to respect the seemingly small sparks of love since they can erupt into fire." —Clara Maurer, NPR Music, 2019 
 "The jam reached its peak when Erin Lunsford (of Erin & the Wildfire) howled into the heavens during “Country Roads." -Garret Woodward, Rolling Stone, 2019
