An English-lit major and a longtime musician and teacher, Erin has been in the Calgary music scene since the late 1990’s and teaching music students since 1995. Erin is an incredible guitar player, showcasing strains of roots, including blues, folk, rock and roll and jazz.
Erin Ross may have named her debut full-length album, The Wind Will Lead me Home, but leaving home was key to the recording process. Erin, and long-term drummer Lorne Petersen travelled to Music City to record the album at Canadian studio veteran Steve Dawson’s Henhouse Studios in East Nashville, putting in a week-long session with some top- notch studio musicians. The new surroundings provided focus, and a break from day-to-day distractions that shines through on the nine tracks that ruminate on themes of home, where and how we belong in the world and how we connect to other people.
Being away from home allowed Erin to tap into some of Music City’s deep pool of session players. Dawson, who has been at the helm for records by Birds of Chicago, The Sojourners, Matt Andersen and many others, tends to work with top-notch players. Joining Erin and Lorne for the recording sessions were bassist Dave Jacques, known for his work with John Prine, and Sheryl Crow keyboardist Jen Gunderman on hammond organ, wurlitzer and melotron. Fats Kaplin, who has played with every- body from Tinariwen to Jack White, provided mandolin, fiddle, banjo and accordian, while Justin Amaral, who has worked with Junior Brown and Laura Cantrell, provided percussion. Dawson himself played guitar, lap steel and pedal steel.

This workshop provides an overview of power and privilege, interactive opportunities to reflect on attitudes and beliefs around gender and sexual diversity and practical tools for being an engaged bystander. Participants will leave this training prepared to address harassment and discrimination in a way that empowers the person experiencing harm, while calling people who perpetuate harm into productive discussions.
