Details

It's been eight years since Erin Lunsford, of Richmond-based Erin & the Wildfire, released a solo album. She's been standing toe to toe, more than holding her own, while sharing stages with artists such as Keller Williams and The Infamous Stringdusters. Her Tiny Desk contest entries have caught the attention of NPR for two years running. This April, 5 Points Music Sanctuary is excited to welcome this rising star and celebrate her newest endeavor, "The Damsel". Fellow singer/songwriter catherine the great will open the night.

Erin Lunsford is an award-winning singer and songwriter originally from Fincastle, Va and now living in Richmond, Va. Erin’s compositions, which include self-styled guitar, banjo, and keyboard melodies, are sure to please. She is the powerhouse front-woman of Richmond funk/soul band Erin & The Wildfire, who appeared on the main stage at LOCKN 2018 and 2014 as well as LOCKNWOOD 2015 opening for the late Leon Russell. Charlottesville’s Paramount Idol voted Erin their top voice in 2013, winning the competition with comments from the panel like “perfect intonation.” She won 1st Place at Rapunzel's 11th Annual Songwriting Contest and several other awards have followed.
