Erin McCarley Begins Writing New Album After Regrouping Her Soul

Erin McCarley

Erin McCarley checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@erinmccarley) on Thursday (May 20), discussing what she’s been up to since she last posted last year. The Nashville, Tennessee singer songwriter tells readers:

Well. Wow. I think we last spoke in 2009. Thank you so much for every single encouraging word, hug, twitter, download, etc these past two years. You remind me everyday why I’m doing this crazy music thing. You’ve helped me sniff out a little more confidence in myself and filled me with so much joy. On days I didn’t think I could do it, I always received an email or some form of communication showing you were affected by my music. It means more than you can imagine.

My life since December has been drastically different. Mainly, I’ve been in one place instead of fifty. Even better, I’ve done laundry on a regular basis and been able to go grocery shopping!!! The reason for this new “domestic” routine is I’ve been writing my new record! After almost two years on the road, my soul needed a regroup and restoration process to start creating again.

Touring Feels Like Political Campaign For Erin McCarley

Erin McCarley

Erin McCarley spoke with the Orlando Sentinel in a Q&A, asking the singer songwriter who has been taking cost cutting measures on the road, to using a tour van to making bids on Priceline at each tour stop, how hard it is to make it right now. “With being a new artist, there are so many new bands out there,” Erin explained. “There is more music than ever right now, and people have shorter attention spans than ever. I was looking through Spin magazine, looking at all the festivals, schedules and seeing all these bands that I’ve never heard of in my life, but they have followings. It is pretty crazy, it’s crazy. You have to come up with your own marketing campaign. You have to be the President of the United States and tout around each city and win them over. That’s what I feel like I am doing right now. It’s just about a song; it all boils down to a song. If people connect to that song, then they latch on and want to get to know the artist. So, it does boil down to the songwriting. There are exceptions, some have more gimmicks. I know, for me, I don’t have any gimmicks. I am not saying that is a good thing, some people are rally talented at other things, but my voice and my songs are what I have, so I just hoping that people hear it, connect and want to know more about me.” Read more.

Erin McCarley Performs ‘Pony’ On Fox 4 Dallas
