This is a donation-based event. Erika Lundahl is a heart-forward songwriter for resilient hearts and resonant bodies. Living on Coast Salish land in Seattle, Erika’s folk medicine roots in personal and collective histories of resilience, seeking futures of abundance, possibility and healing. She is an environmental justice organizer, who is committed to low-carbon touring in her electric vehicle. Record Crates United reviewed Erika’s 2020 album "Daughter, You're a Storyteller," saying: "..a stellar collection of deeply personal ballads and tributes to the heart. With songs that are inspired by the unlocking of the stories within our genetics, and seeking to explore our pasts to better understand our present adult minds and bodies."

About Erika’s new album, Messy Blessed Infinity: An exuberant love letter to the world, Seattle artist Erika Lundahl relishes in emergent sonic landscapes that bend from energized folk rock to hushed spoken word poetry. Refracting like light through glass, the album celebrates Pacific Northwest resistance movements like the Fairy Creek Blockade and efforts to breach the Snake River dams, and then heads inward to embrace the soft animal body within, exploring the self with songs of grief, reckonings with intimacy, heartbreak, and self care. Listen to “Messy Blessed Infinity” by Erika Lundahl.
