2220 Arts welcomes Erin Durant, just off the release of her latest LP, *Firetrail*. Erin will be joined on the night by LA singer songwriter Nicole Lawrence and the duo of Tara Jane O'Neil and Ryan Sawyer. ∆ Artist biographies: An **Erin Durant** song tends to work in the manner of afternoon light, slipping in as subtle reflections, but quietly overtaking an entire room with a wild radiance. Maybe it’s the shimmer of her voice, the grounding presence of the piano, maybe it’s the nimble way her lyrics dart across subjects, but her orchestrated folk songs seem to arrive from another time, cascading over on some well-traveled wind. Erin Durant is celebrating the release of her third album, *Firetrail*, out May 16 (Ruination Record Co.). Originally from New Orleans, Erin is currently residing in Topanga Canyon, California. ~ **Nicole Lawrence** is your favorite musician’s secret weapon, having toured globally with the likes of Jenny Lewis, Devendra Banhart, King Tuff, Coldplay, and Mary Timony, performing live on Late Night with Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten, collaborating in-studio with Neil Hagerty on a Howling Hex album, and soloing on pedal steel alongside none other than Springsteen at MetLife Stadium. On her debut solo LP, *Time In Love*, she introduces her own voice, one of dryly poetic, road-tested wisdom, with the casual brilliance of a sought-after six-string heavyweight. Deftly weaving threads between the bar-smoke virtuosity of J.J. Cale to the slack eccentricity of early Beck, Nicole Lawrence’s debut effort shows the arresting confidence and refreshing wit of a seasoned artist who knows her craft inside and out—and knows what she wants to say with it. Exploring the real and dark terrain of maturity, Lawrence channels the kind of joy fostered from an evolved, mellowed kind of creative abandon found through both the the trust of working with kindred partners, and an intimacy with one’s own inner material. ~ **Ryan** and **Tara** have been playing music together for two decades We present a concert of sifted short portals. Every star is its natural yearning I.e. We will play new music and covers There will be guests ~
