Press
“Heartfelt songs blending blues, funk, and folk, offering something for everyone.” - Dan Ward, Grateful Web (full article here)
“The Erly is poised to cement their mark on the Americana genre. Hailing from Michigan, their sound is deeply rooted in folk and country as much as rock and soul. They have the stories to tell, the guts to share them, and the melodies to deliver with radio-ready smoothness.” - Daniel Meggitt, Music Crowns (full article here)
“The Erly is making a stamp with their own take on the musical influences of current and past generations, creating an experience that is unique, vibrant, and fun.” - Justin Flagel, Red Chuck Productions (full article here)
