Erin Daisy is Erin Day.

She was born April 2, 1987 in Cleveland, Ohio around 9:45 pm. Since this evening birth she has always been a little bit nocturnal, but she also loves the mornings, because as her friend Tony Presley says, "it's never to late to start again."

She lived in Ohio until she was 13, when her mother moved the family a few hundred miles northwest. They lived temporarily with family outside of Kenosha, Wisconsin and Erin was a little too much for the small township of Salem. A few short months later they were able to buy a house and they left for Milwaukee, where she has lived for five years.

In Milwaukee, she is a full-time student at the University as well as an employee at the University's Department of Enrollment Services. She is spending her undergraduate career studying sex and gender through a sociological lense, though she is interested in lots of different lenses, especially historical and anthropological, and also subjects, especially ethnicity, human sexuality, language, prison reform, anarchoprimitivism, radical feminism, earth liberation, and other -isms and -itys.

She wants to do her graduate studies in Ann Arbor, MI (she is getting ahead of herself) where they have an interdisciplinary program for Sociology/Women's Studies PhD's.

She wants to live in a lot of different places but is pretty sure she couldn't live anywhere outside of midwestern America for more than a year. Some of the future residences she has decided on are: somewhere sort of rural in Mexico with lots of other women (for when she goes on a "girl island" retreat for a little bit), an abandoned house in Italy with a dusty piano and old books, and it is a definite goal to spend at least some time in Rwanda, which since the genocide massacre that took place there is being rebuilt almost totally by women.

She makes music that exists somewhere in the spaces between acapella folk spirituals, pop music and performance art and is working on a new set of songs that will be recorded sometime in this last fourth of 2006 hopefully, called "With Open Eyes." In 2005 she released her first EP, "At the Frontier of the Skin," which is still available. In addition, she is getting a band together to record a cover record exploring the difference in perspective exhibited by female songwriters who write about other women.

She had a dream of all her amazing creative friends getting together and sharing their brilliant gifts with the world, and it is coming to life, taking place in Chicago August 18, 19 and 20th: http://www.midwestnestfest.com.

Current desires: move out into a nice house with other gentle light beings, TOUR EVERYWHERE!!, recording, spend more time with her awesome friends starting bands, cooking, watching movies, having slumber parties, and singing Whitney Houston's "iiiii wanna daaaance with soomebaaahdy" really loud.
