Please join me in welcoming Erin Ivey to Third Thursday at NeWorlDeli. Matt Giles will join us on guitar.Erin Ivey is an Austin-based singer-songwriter whose intimate, confessional style, expressive voice, and emotionally powerful performances have won her a loyal following, national endorsements from Guild and Gretsch, and a 2025 Austin Music Award for Best Folk.
Texas Monthly called her a "superstar." Austin.com dubbed her the "queen of Austin songwriters." Roxy said she's "the darling of Austin's legendary music scene" and according to KUTX, Ivey has "quietly become one of our city's biggest critical successes."
In 2020, Texas Music Magazine named Erin's breakout album Broken Gold one of 20 "albums that defined Texas music over the past 2 decades."
Raised in a military family in Annapolis, Maryland, Erin moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas. She found her people keeping it weird and started playing open mics at the renowned Cactus Cafe. She has since performed countless shows around the world in various solo and band scenarios, sharing stages with Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris, HEART, Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin, Ralph Stanley, Stanley Jordan, and many others.
Her latest album, Souvenir, is a country-folk collaboration with producer Brennen Leigh, created in 2024 while Ivey recovered from lung cancer. Souvenir was featured on The Best Country Music on Bandcamp, citing its "gently spirited country-folk songs that spill over with memorable melodies and slice-of-life wisdom about searching for a sure path in an disorienting world."
Erin's work has been featured in Forbes, HuffPost, and Adweek, in films, ads, and TV shows including Suits, The Client List, Coach Snoop, E! News, and numerous Hallmark movies. She has received artist grants from Black Fret, the City of Austin, and Howlin' Dog Music Group. In 2009, the mayor of Austin declared April 29th "Erin Ivey Day."
