Spin This Erie Choir Track

Many of you will likely find Eric Roehrig lurking in your record collection, particularly if you happened to spend a lot of time with Saddle Creek early on; he sang and played guitar in Sorry About Dresden. But, he’s spent the last few years working on his new project, Erie Choir. It was initially conceptualized as a solo affair, but Eric fleshed out a full band, and that decision definitely benefits the work of the track below. There’s a pop Americana feel here, and the details like slide guitar and piano tinkering develop the track into a moving piece. Perhaps it’s added years in my own life, but Roehrig sounds friendly and familiar here, like only the best of songwriters. This gem will feature on the group’s new album, Old Rigs, which drops next week via Potluck.
