Erin McKeown with Haley Bonar

02/24/2007 - 8:00pm

From elegant pop to balls-out rock, sweet electronics to witty swing, Erin McKeown has packed a ton of music into her young career. With 5 studio albums, 2 EPs, and numerous soundtracks and compilations to her credit, the 28-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hasn't stopped for a breather in the last 10 years. And for this special evening at the Cedar, she will be joined by Minneapolis' own multiply-talented songstress Haley Bonar! Along the way, Erin McKeown has averaged 200 shows a year and garnered the praise of fans and critics alike. McKeown's newest release is Sing You Sinners, a singular and sly take on the not-so-standard entries in the American songbook.

"Airborne metaphors carry the songwriter Erin McKeown all the way through her fourth album, "We Will Become Like Birds" (Nettwerk). Her clear mezzo-soprano sounds perpetually optimistic, and so do the syncopated electric guitar parts she picks and plucks through the sparsely arranged but fully realized songs." -Jon Pareles, New York Times
