“Erica Falls sounds like the spirit of New Orleans music personified” – American Blues Scene
Erica Falls was exposed to a variety of musical genres at an early age by her parents in her hometown New Orleans. The unique variety of music within that home helped shape Erica and her unique soulful sound.
Erica’s growth in music was stimulated and influenced by singers such as Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Whitney Houston and of course her mother, whose angelic soprano voice filled their 9th Ward home. On stage, her live shows are an unmatched spontaneous force that brings an exciting mix of fashion, sassiness, and vintage soul that keeps the crowds on their feet the entire show. “The stage is where I feed all of humanity a big pot of funky gumbo and make sure they keep coming back for seconds,” says Falls.
Erica has recorded and performed with the likes of Allen Toussaint, Joe Sample, Dr. John, Sting, No Doubt, Jennifer Hudson, and John Fogerty. On her debut album, 2011’s Me, Myself and Music, her singing, arrangements, and songwriting are on full display.
While touring coast to coast with the nationally known funk band Galactic, Falls has recorded her sophomore project titled Vintage Soul. The album is comprised of tracks that bring her live stage energy and New Orleans vibe together perfectly. “Vintage Soul is not about bringing the listener back to a time of authentic music, it’s about reminding them that it never went anywhere,” exclaims Erica.
Vintage Soul further exemplifies Erica’s versatile and remarkable skill as a singer and songwriter adept at extracting the most eloquent sounds within soul, funk and R&B, creating a truly extraordinary experience for the listener.
