Born and raised in the elderly Appalachians of northeastern Tennessee, Erin Dalton is a well-seasoned vocalist, songwriter, educator, pianist, composer, and arranger. Immersed in a wide range of music (her father is an Appalachian story-songwriter and her mother, a classically-trained pianist/organist), she began honing her skills by ear and in formal training at a very early age.
Continuing on a path of musical endeavors, Erin went on to Gardner-Webb University, where she spent four years in intensive piano, voice and composition courses. As a senior thesis, she created a one-act musical, "Work, In Progress," along with the university's theater department. The musical had two performances in a 200-seat theater with packed houses for each performance. Dalton graduated in the spring of 2008 with a B.M. in Music Composition.
For the past decade, Erin has been traveling and teaching everything from elementary school music to hip hop songwriter/performance courses for nonprofits and organizations, hopping from North Carolina to Pennsylvania to northern India. She spent five years as the director of music camps for The Birthplace of Country Music. She has created string arrangements for a wide range of artists, including Amythyst Kiah and Bill and the Belles, and also spent a year studying jazz piano with renown composer and Steinway artist, Chad Lawson.
Erin currently resides in Johnson City, TN, where she is a music educator, arranger, and frontwoman of Charlie Maples.

JAMIE COLLINS
Encircled by the rich history of mountain music traditions of the Blue Ridge, Jamie Collins carries tradition forward with her own fresh take on bluegrass, old-time, and country music.
Hailing from Bristol, Tennessee known as the Birthplace of Country Music; Jamie was born to a mountain music family featuring her flatpicking virtuoso father, Tony Collins. Instilled with a deep love and appreciation for the local traditions at a young age, Collins grew up attending festivals and fiddlers’ conventions, where she witnessed some of the best in old-time and bluegrass. Inspired by the musicians in her life, Collins would go on to sing, write, and pick up several instruments, including the guitar, fiddle, and upright bass.
In addition to the instruments that she plays, Collins is also a celebrated Appalachian singer, which has made her a sought after harmony singer on other artists’ projects. Her musical prowess has garnered her several prizes at Fiddlers’ Conventions throughout the region including the highly regarded Galax Fiddlers Convention and she has toured Nationally and Internationally to perform and teach music and traditions that she holds dear to her heart.
Collins has performed alongside her family, as well as with her own group featuring Brett Morris and Martha Spencer; The Blue Ridge Girls. She is known to sit in and accompany many groups throughout the Appalachian Region.
As a solo artist, Collins released an album entitled “Enjoy Life” in 2022, which encapsulates the positivity that she brings to the world. Offering a mix of original songs and traditional numbers, the album features a multitude of regional talent with Collins at the center.
Jamie released “Some Day” in 2023 featuring the cello musings of world renowned cellist Dave Eggar. In 2024 she worked heavily with his project Bristol Lightning and appears on The Bristol Lightning EP track “Appalachian Wolfgang”.
The Blue Ridge Girls released their all original album in 2025, and Collins is currently working on her next album that will be all original and feature her latest original single released in 2024 “Where I Want to Be”.
