Erica Blinn

Erica Blinn is an American Rock artist based out of Nashville, TN. She is originally from Worthington, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, OH. She learned everything about guitar and harmonica from her dad, Jerry. She started playing the harmonica when she was only 14 and started playing the bars then too. The harmonica turned into a guitar, and soon enough she was singing to the sound of her guitar. Erica Blinn played in numerous bands in high school, and in college too.

Discovery
She met Colin Gawel after finding him after one of his concerts. She and Gawel began practicing together. Colin Gawel helped Blinn launch her solo career just a few years ago. Her most recent album was produced with Mike Landolt (famous from producing Maroon 5, Blues Traveler, OAR ). She practices with guitar player, Andy Harrison, as well.

Now
The music Erica Blinn plays is from the heart. It has a Midwestern, American rock feel to it. Her upbeat harmonic tune stretches to the hearts of those who listen. She sings out honest words that stretch and twist through her tunes. Blinn bends the rules of the blues, and continuously knocks down the walls of pop music, creating a blue-collar music that everyone can stand up for and dance to. Blinn records at the Curry House Records in Nashville, TN. She and the members of her team (listed below) strive to produce a harmonic sound through guitar and Blinn's voice.
