Erin Cole-Baker is an independent singer-songwriter and folk-Americana artist known for her velvety vocals, rich melodies, and intimate storytelling. Born in Santa Barbara, California, she moved with her family to the rural, beachside community of Whangarei Heads in Northland, New Zealand, at a young age. Raised in a deeply musical household, she began her musical journey with classical piano before later expanding into jazz, guitar, and songwriting.

Drawn back to the American West's folk scene in her early twenties, Erin and her husband settled in Bend, Oregon, after attending the Sisters Folk Festival. She quickly became a prominent fixture in Central Oregon's music community, performing as part of the folk duo The Erins and releasing acclaimed solo albums like Talon and Spur (2009) and Big Sky (2011). Following a brief return to New Zealand to raise her daughters, she broke a seven-year hiatus in 2018 with her critically praised live-to-tape album Till the Feeling's Right. Today, she continues to write, record, and perform her deeply evocative music across both the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand.
