Erin Coburn grew up on blues and classic rock. That background has afforded her a spotlight onstage for over half her life, including opening slots ahead of Marcus King and Blackberry Smoke. She released her first album Chaos Before Conformity in 2015 at just 14 years old. She was starting to cut a groove in the blues-rock genre, but the needle stopped when her ear latched onto the darker moods of Alice in Chains, more dynamic music of Sleep Token, and the technical proficiency from modern guitar whisperers Tim Henson and Scott LePage of Polyphia. Since then, her playing has sped up, her tunings have dropped\u2014including the addition of a 7-string Strandberg\u2014and she\u2019s joined the heavier side of riffing with one goal in mind.

\u201cI\u2019m going more towards hard-rock and metal because I love it and that\u2019s where my soul is\u2014I just want to open up mosh pits someday!\u201d


It\u2019ll be interesting to see how she fuses her backbone of blues-rock with the new injection of musical blood. Regardless of the destination, we\u2019re just glad to be sitting shotgun for the ride.


Before her band\u2019s headlining show at Nashville\u2019s Eastside Bowl, Erin Coburn welcomed PG\u2019s Chris Kies onstage for a conversation about gear, music, and surprises in her lunchbox. She dished on how she gravitated (and possibly levitated) towards Strandberg guitars during a NAMM Show visit and then divulged a brand-new offering from Lace that includes some of her own signature of sweet \u2019n\u2019 heat.
