Erin McKeown stopped by the WYCE studio to share a couple fantastic songs. This is one of those songs.

From her website www.erinmckeown.com:

"After eight full-length records, three EPs, and 12 years of touring the globe non-stop, writer, performer and multi-instrumentalist Erin McKeown is just getting warmed up. Erin explains the driving force in her career, 'I make music because I am made of music. I feel it and express it constantly. I speak through my songs because I feel a deep sense of responsibility as a citizen to participate in the world the best way I know how.'

In the last several years, the Brown University graduate has launched a successful side-career as a political activist, lobbying regularly on Capitol Hill in an effort to connect the worlds of policy, music and technology. Erin has spoken at some of the country’s top music and technology conferences including Future of Music Coalition’s Policy Summit, Free Press’ National Conference for Media Reform, Re-Think Music and Innovate/Activate 2.0. Erin is also a 2011-12 fellow at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society."
