| the remote wilderness of michigan's upper peninsula would seem an unlikely place to breed creativity, but for singer/songwriter erik koskinen, it proved to be the ideal existence. fed by his father's love of folk and blues music and inspired by other local artists from the area, this twenty-two year old has been performing his own music from one end of the continent to the other for the last six years.
from the debut release "interesting view", to the critically acclaimed follow-up "one step closer", erik enters his adult life with "letters and postcards". containing subjects that range from the unassured expectations of the title track, to the third party perspective of an abused parent in "mama don't cry", this is the innocent view of the young combined with the wisdom of the experienced.
his most recent release,"letters and postcards," is a moody and rhythmic example of the profound subtle inner-wisdom and the beauty in attitude that makes middle America the heart and soul of this country.
