| Erin James Live @ The Rutledge, Nashville, TN October 11, 2010 |
The recent industry showcase for artist Erin James at the Rutledge gave an enthusiastic audience the chance to see first hand what all of the buzz around Nashville is about. Thirty year music industry veteran and manager Micheal "Bear" Clair introduced Erin James saying "every now and then an artist comes along with that special something that makes you realize why you got in this business in the first place." He mentioned that Erin James writes and produces all of her own songs and she's a fantastic singer and musician too!
Erin James took the stage and rocked the showcase with several of her original tunes including "Dirt Road Diva", "Sweet Tea Kisses", "Just Came Here To Dance" and "All Because of You." Midway through her show, Erin James performed a solo acoustic version of her "most requested" song - a hysterically funny, tongue-in-cheek song titled "That's How You Do It When You're Poor White Trash". And she had the audience rolling! The band rejoined her for performance of a "turn your radio up" tune entitled "Love Drunk" and a moving ballad titled "Dreams Really Do Come True." Erin James closed the showcase with her latest song "Southern Belle" which has just been released in the UK. The crowd was blown away by Erin James!
Erin's "killer" band included Cody Leppo (Drums), Kelly Sams (Lead Guitar), Josh Carre (Bass Guitar), Clint Parris (Keys) and Jaya Yeates (Background Vocals). All in all, it was an engaging showcase featuring an impressive singer, songwriter and musician. Erin James is the "real deal" and she really rocked the Rutledge!
