You may not know her by name, but it\u2019s highly likely that you\u2019ve seen the enormously talented musician\/actor Erin Hill on TV or on stage. A masterful harpist with a golden singing voice, Hill has performed as back-up to such major artists as Kanye West, Enya, moby, Cyndi Lauper, \u201880s new wave icons A-ha, Randy Newman, Sinead O\u2019Connor, Jewel, and many others. In addition, Hill has appeared on several TV shows such as Bravo\u2019s Million Dollar Listing and Comedy Central\u2019s Chappelle\u2019s Show appearing in the infamous skit as the \u201cPretty White Girl\u201d who sings Dave\u2019s darkest, most private thoughts, PLUS the Tim Robbins film Cradle Will Rock, HBO\u2019s The Chris Rock Show, and PBS\u2019s American Masters.<\/p>\n

Now this exciting artist has released Harp Town, a full-length album of pop music classics from every era, uniquely arranged for harp and voice, and recorded with intimacy and delicacy by producer Mike Nolan. The album, whose title is a nod to Steve Earle\u2019s 1986 debut album Guitar Town, includes gorgeous and haunting versions of Tim Buckley\u2019s \u201cSong To The Siren,\u201d Smashing Pumpkins\u2019 \u201cDisarm,\u201d Kate Bush\u2019s \u201cThis Woman\u2019s Work,\u201d Adele\u2019s \u201cSomeone Like You,\u201d Rihanna\u2019s \u201cStay,\u201d and Radiohead\u2019s \u201cBlack Star\u201d as well as such all-time classics as \u201cLa Vie En Rose,\u201d \u201cEleanor Rigby,\u201d \u201cCome Fly With Me,\u201d \u201cHabanera\u201d and many more. Each song features Hill\u2019s extraordinary harp playing and her own distinctive interpretations. \u201cThis has been such a big, exciting project for me,\u201d Hill enthuses, \u201cI do a lot of different styles of music, and I write as well, but one of the things I\u2019m most proud of is what I do with my harp and voice covers of pop and rock songs. I started playing the harp when I was 8 years old, and right from the start, I was playing and singing songs that I\u2019d hear and fall in love with. I\u2019m just such a music fan, and I go nuts for some of these songs and artists, so what a joy to get to spend a year working on arranging and playing and singing these songs.\u201d With Harp Town, music fans everywhere will have the opportunity to experience these classic songs as they\u2019ve never heard them before!
