ERIN MCKEOWN JOINS SUSAN MCKEOWN (NO RELATION) ON THE LATTER'S NEW ALBUM 'BELONG' (NOV 13 / HIBERNIAN MUSIC) FOR AMERICANA SONG "FALLEN ANGEL"

ERIN ON SUSAN: "ONE OF THOSE VOICES THAT JUST BORES A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH YOU"

Acclaimed artist Erin McKeown plays guitar on "Fallen Angel" from GRAMMY-winner Susan McKeown's new album 'Belong,' out November 13 on Hibernian Music. Erin raves about Susan's singing, "Susan has one of those voices that just bores a hole right through you. If you've ever seen her live, the look in her eye as she sings lets you know she is possessed by a force beyond explaining. It's deep and powerful and I don't know another sound like it."

New Yorkers will have a chance to see her perform at the Living Room November 7, which will be broadcast by SIRIUS XM The Loft.

Erin says, "'Fallen Angel' is such a clever song and I wanted to match Susan's writing and vocal with a guitar solo that rides the same line between playful and accusatory." Susan describes the Americana song as "a whimsical look at how one’s inner demons can haunt a relationship."

Erin jokes, "We've known each other for years, and after all we are 'cousins,' we think, way back in Ireland."
