A mixed bag of creaky jazz ballads, tin-pan alley show tunes, solid pop and a healthy dose of the funk-soul people know and love from Erin Smith.
Bio / Background
A bank heist, a dead bride, the Mayor crashing her car into the local bowling alley, a farm girl hitch-hiking to New York City and a fellow who just won't quit trying to off himself.
What do these sordid characters have in common?
Ladies & gentlemen, I give you to the characters of "Swagger", the first solo album by Toronto's queen of acoustic bop, Erin Smith.
After many years of touring, recording and fronting the popular funk outfit named for its lead singer (Erin Smith Band), Smith has stepped out on her own to reveal a pocketful of gems she has written over the past year. Tiring of writing music strictly designed for the funk-soul crowd, Smith began to envision an album that would be a mixed bag of creaky jazz ballads, tin-pan alley show tunes, solid pop and a healthy dose of the funk-soul people know and love.
After visiting several studios and producers, Smith chose to record with Hamilton musician Michael Birthelmer at his Chatham Garden Studio.

seriously. ive seen this girl performing around my town, and she is amazing. ive never seen anyone command an audience's attention like she does. her voice is jazzy and soulful, but not so far down the macy gray path as to be obnoxious. she seems to click really well with her group, and her lyrical themes are truly one of a kind. id like to see where smith ends up, as i believe her music career to be really promising. and if nothing else, i want to be just like her when i grow up :)
