We can’t get enough of this beautiful folk song “Fabric” by Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Erin Ash Sullivan. The minute we heard Erin’s voice we fell in love with it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads! She has one of the purest and most charming voices we’ve heard in months. Her voice is charmingly pure on top of original and emotional lyrics. The guitar is wonderful and the melodies are so catchy. Erin Ash Sullivan is a professional singer and she has so much talent when it comes to songwriting. We are very excited to see where her career will go over the coming months!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“”Fabric” touches on the power of tactile objects – like textiles – to evoke powerful feelings and memories, and also on how making art, whether it’s music, or sewing, or something else, gets us through challenging times. I wrote this song for my mom, who navigated many unhappy years by creating beautiful things with needle and thread. We were cleaning out a closet together one day recently and I watched her break down as she held a spool of thread in her hand – for her, that thread brought her back to a time when she was quite literally trying to stitch herself – and her daughters – together.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Erin Ash Sullivan is a Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter whose music focuses on the power of story to build connection. Drawing from the lives of others as well as her own experiences as a daughter, wife, mother, and artist, Erin’s songs harness language in unexpected ways to reveal the world through others’ eyes. Erin began performing her original music in New York City, where she co-founded the band Edith O with college friend Amy Speace, performed regularly at venues including the Bitter End and CBGB’s Gallery, and released an album, Tattooed Queen, which garnered critical raves. It is possible that the band broke up when Erin—who was at the time a sleep-deprived mother of a six-week-old—forgot to show up at the Bitter End for the band’s record release show. In subsequent years, marriage, children, and a career as a teacher, school administrator, and published author took center stage, but in 2018, Erin returned to writing and performing, and her first solo album, We Can Hear Each Other, is due out in the spring of 2021.
