Nashville singer/songwriter Erin Rae and her group the Meanwhiles emerged in 2012 with a sound rooted in dreamy indie folk, Americana, and ’70s pop/rock. Rae issued her minimalist solo debut, Putting on Airs, in 2018, followed in 2022 by the dynamic, retro-pop, and country-leaning Lighten Up.
Born and raised in Jackson, Tennessee, Erin Rae McKaskle grew up in a musical home. Her family eventually relocated to Nashville, and it was there that Rae picked up her first six-string and began writing songs.
Influenced by distinctive roots music artists like Bobbie Gentry, Lee Hazlewood and Don Williams, she formed Erin Rae & the Meanwhiles in the early 2010s. The group issued their debut EP, Crazy Talk, in 2011, followed by their well-received first full-length effort, Soon Enough, four years later. Rae dropped the Meanwhiles ahead of the arrival of her sophomore effort, 2018’s Putting on Airs.
Her first outing for John Paul White’s Single Lock label, the LP earned acclaim for its catchy melodic turns and intimate ruminations on life, love, and loss. In 2021, Rae enlisted producer/artist Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Billy Strings) to help deliver her most vibrant set of songs to date. Released the following year, Lighten Up added elements of light psychedelia, indie pop, and cosmic country to Rae’s sonic arsenal. Rich Man, a bonus track from those same sessions, was issued later that year as a single.
Erin will be backed by the Hollow Hand band. Hollow Hand is a richly textured, DIY-spirited project led by Max Kinghorn-Mills, blending psych-pop, folk-rock, and pastoral melodies with a deep sense of personal freedom and imagination. While primarily crafted solo, Hollow Hand's latest record, Your Own Adventure, features contributions from admired collaborators like Tim Smith, Spencer Cullum, and Holly Macve, adding subtle depth without compromising its introspective, exploratory core.
Tour support comes from maví lou – the solo project of French singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Louise Hayat. Born in Paris and raised in Martinique, maví lou first gained recognition as one half of indie pop duo The Dove & The Wolf, with whom she toured extensively across the US, Canada, and Europe. After several years in Philadelphia and Nashville — collaborating with artists such as Natalie Prass, Faye Webster, and Grammy-winning band The War On Drugs (A Deeper Understanding) — she returned to Paris in 2021 to carve out a creative space of her own, away from the current, closer to the source.
She released her debut EP Grapefruit Meditation in 2024, a fully self-produced record exploring the space between poetry, analog warmth, and digital atmospheres. For this tour, Maví Lou returns to the essence of her songs in a stripped-down solo set with classical guitar, seeking a more direct, intimate connection with the audience.
