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.
The Allied Arts Council would like to thank The Panoram Foundation for their generosity and support of our organization, this project and the arts in our community.
The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek is supported year round by Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and Joint Council Funding.

Live Music at The Lebel
The Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek(AAC) strives to host concerts and events that appeal to a wide audience, are diverse, thought provoking and will increase access to musical experiences in our community. Our year-round event schedule is growing with the goal of showcasing emerging and established musicians and performers from across the country. Our programming schedule is developed year round as our staff diligently and happily immerse themselves in the music scene across the province and country.
Interested in Performing?
We are always excited to discover and enjoy new music and encourage artists to submit a complete EPK to our Executive Director, Kassandra Chancey
We will review all submissions, and are currently considering artists for our soon to be updated indoor space between December 2024 and June 2025. If you are a touring musician working on a specific schedule, please include the dates you will be in the area in the subject line of your email.
The AAC does not typically book cover or tribute acts. This does not mean your act cannot include covers/arrangements during your set, however we are looking for bands and performers with a repertoire of original music.
In an effort to avoid competition with other local live music providers and grow the local music scene the AAC typically requests that Artists do not book shows in the Town or MD of Pincher Creek (Beaver Mines, Lundbreck, Twin Butte) 30 days prior to and post agreed upon show dates unless otherwise agreed upon.
Our marketing and outreach relies heavily on online interactions. Please be sure to include links to your web presence and social media in your submission email.
