My Imaginary Friends

See what HEAR THE UNHEARD has to say about Erin Armstrong.

"With a nice blend of pop and indie rock, Erin’s music is fun, a delight to the ears! She was runner up in the Deli’s Best Emerging Artist 2009 category. Listening to “Hello Miss McGinty” above, you can tell why. She’s a great songwriter with impeccable musical instincts. If you hit up her MySpace page, you might not leave it for the entire day instead choosing to loop her songs.



She still handles all her music DIY, so friend, fan, follow and stay in touch. She’ll get you a disc -- no worries!"

"Given Armstrong's impassioned talent and her band's flawless performance, it is not hard to fall for her." -Aaron Levy, The Charleston Post and Courier



Moving to L.A. alone from South Carolina in 2005, Erin Armstrong brought along her Southern upbringing. Her blues roots, jazz education and appreciation for indie rock followed. Erin's good friend, Ben Fordham, eventually did too and joined her on violin, mandolin, guitar, and vocals. Rounded out by slide guitar, harmonica, Hammond organ, and electric guitar, Erin might seem like an alt-country or piano-pop artist, but these descriptions may be defied with each listen or live show. From the full-throttle blues-based drive of "Sue Thrasher" to the upbeat and dreamy "Hello Miss McGinty", auditory and genre-bending surprises delight.



"It's Armstrong's heart-felt attachment to her music that makes it so special."

-Jackie Miehls, Performer Magazine



A 100% DIY approach while at times painful continues to propel this family forward as true ownership of their passion is retained; each note, each song, each record, a beloved child.



"'E Hemingway' changed my life. Seriously. Thanks." -Skott, Descend
