About me

Who is Erin the Bard, and what’s a “bard” anyway?

Hi! I’m Erin the Bard.

I’m a musical artist and storyteller based in the Hudson Valley, NY.

As a bard, I connect with the healing energy of Nature around me and channel that energy through words, music, and dance.

I've recently been exploring what I like to call "Medicine Jazz" — music that has a jazzy, fun, improvisational quality to it, and at the same time, also carries the grounding, soothing vibration of medicine music.

What's been brewing for me lately...

Album Update

My first 'Medicine/Jazz' single is out on Bandcamp!

I just released my first single from my upcoming demo album: ‘Medicine/Jazz’!!! 🥳🎉

It’s a fun, slightly quirky, perfectly imperfect, and overall pretty chill version of ‘All Blues’ that I hope will bring joy to a lot of people. ☀️

Radio Interview

Listen to my interview on Dream Life Radio!

I chat with my friends Jaguar Mary X and Lisa B Kelley about music, dream fragments, waking dream states, magical birds, tree elders, my love of Harry Potter, and much, much more!

'Nature Boy' (demo)

This song holds a special place in my heart, because it was the first “medicine jazz” song I felt called to (before I had even received the whole “medicine jazz” download from the universe thing).

Needless to say — I’m very excited I now have a demo of it out on Bandcamp! yay!

'Glorious'

I discovered MaMuse's ‘Glorious’ a few years ago, in the midst of a particularly gloomy moment, and it was a healing balm for my soul. Check out Heart 💖 Songs for the whole story behind the evolution of 'Glorious,' and/or listen to my cover of the song below.
