Sexes have equal rights and talent is shared evenly among them, but it’s undeniable that boys and girls tend to develop different interests. Musically speaking, ladies seem more attracted to acoustic guitars than electronic instruments, or even – for that matter – guitar pedals (we know something about that, since our stats say that 90% of the visitors of our Stompbox Exhibit Facebook page are male). This allows NYC songsmith Erin Barra to present herself like a rare example of female electro artist, and mighty manufacturers of electronic goods like Ableton and Moog have taken note by sponsoring her recent live performance at Tekserve.
Musically speaking, Erin plays what we call electronic alt-soul, and we like her edgier tunes like the streaming "Heartless Horsemen," full of tension and sonic experiments. You can see her live at Rockwood’s Stage 2 on July 31.
