The act
Formed in 2014, out of Nashville, TN, Erin Rae has been touring behind a strengthening catalog into a live act with national reach.
Erin Rae is a Nashville singer-songwriter whose 2018 album Putting On Airs broke her into the americana mainstream after a decade on the Tennessee club circuit. She works in a soft-spoken, country-soul register; her third record Lighten Up arrived in 2022 with production from Jonathan Wilson.
The venue
The Southern Café & Music Hall sits at 103 South 1st Street, a 300-capacity intimate listening room operated by Starr Hill Presents under booker Danny Shea.
Southern programs eclectically across rising indie, folk, and singer-songwriters. The room runs 300 general-admission, with sightlines from front-of-house to the back of the floor.
The night
Doors 7:00 PM. Set 8:00 PM. All ages. Ticket prices are set on the on-sale.
Why now
