Erin grew up in a small town in southwestern Virginia playing music around the area with her mom, a guitar teacher. It was while she attended the University of Virginia in Charlottesville that she met her future friends and bandmates.

Seeking a larger market, the group eventually moved to Richmond, Virginia, and still considers the city their home base. Erin & The Wildfire are veterans of mid-Atlantic music festivals having RoosterWalk, FloydFest, and the LOCK’N Festival. They have shared NPR’s Mountain Stage with many notable acts.

Their much-anticipated sophomore album, Touch Feely, is scheduled to drop on April 1, 2022. (We're not kidding!) Many of the songs on the album are deeply personal and will resonate with a great deal of listeners. The band focuses on self-acceptance, body positivity, and life happiness through their catchy, uplifting songs. Fans of soul, R&B, disco-funk, and indie-pop won't find a better catalog of music!

The band consists of:

Erin Lunsford, vocals
Ryan Lipps, guitar
Nick Quillen, drums
Matt Wood, bass
Stephen Roach, keyboards
