Erisa Rei

Erisa Rei's relationship to her music is not a "love affair"... it's a torrid, sultry, and passionate romance that has defined her existence for over two decades.

Raised on the wide green country outside Illiopolis, Illinois, Erisa's romance with the music began innocently enough, as a singer in the church choir. Years went by and her talent bloomed as she found her home in the roots-rock/ Americana genres. Today, Erisa is back in the fresh air and tall grass – this time in Spring Hill, Tennessee. With experience, maturity, and a few more miles under her belt, she's taking her music to a whole new level. Her latest project, "Black Ball" is a defining work, a vital and vibrant cry into the night that is already drawing industry attention.

The allure of Erisa's music is even more potent on the stage where she strikes sparks and shares the fire with every live performance. Recently, Fred Cannon and Rose Drake – the visionaries behind the Creative & Dreams record label – felt that very heat at one of Erisa's shows. Sitting in a deli in Franklin, Tennessee, with producer Paul Buono, they were intrigued by her mojo under the lights and, after speaking with her, they felt the fire burning deep in her bones. Inspiration struck, (as it always does,) and 2013 will see a new Erisa Rei released under the Creative & Dreams label.
