Event information
Singer-songwriter, producer, and dedicated activist Erin McKeown returns with a new album that brings together her political and musical selves, emitting honesty and hope. The album, MANIFESTRA, earned its title as McKeown struggled to find a word to describe the process of internal change becoming external and a statement of purpose and unity. Funded by her enthusiastic fan-base in a mere six days via PledgeMusic, MANIFESTRA will be released January 15th on McKeown’s own TVP Records.
MANIFESTRA finds McKeown accompanied by many musical friends, who add a simple but lush foundation to her songs. Track “Baghdad To The Bayou,” co-written via text message with longtime friend Rachel Maddow, is a simmering New Orleans cut that addresses injustice from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico. “The Jailer” is an upbeat, percussive number whose bright horns and melodic vocals belie the serious undercurrent of border politics. “Proof” is a soft, sweet ballad straight from an opening heart, soon to be accompanied by the first-ever music video of McKeown’s career, while title track “Manifestra” features a mantra of strength and gratitude set to McKeown's minimal electric guitar line.
Having a passion for social justice and a strong interest in public policy, McKeown treats her music as a multi-dimensional way to convey messages, connect with fans, and become a better person. “At this point in my career,” she explains, “I am most concerned with cultivating relationships that are mutually fulfilling. I want to give my fans the best possible music and experience.” Be sure to catch Erin McKeown LIVE on tour & stay tuned for more news coming soon!
