Read on to find out more and check out “Redneck Rich” before it’s available everywhere you can stream music tomorrow.
“I grew up in a small town in Georgia and remembered all my friends talking about being rich and buying mansions when they got older,” Erin shared with us. “After a while, I realized I didn’t really want to be rich and buy a mansion, I just wanted to live life the way I grew up with a nice truck and some good friends.”
This realization has had a big impact on Erin’s authenticity which shines through in her music. Written by Erin with Chris August and Skip Black, “Redneck Rich” is the follow-up to her debut country single “Boys These Days,” “Raised In A Barn” and a successful duet with Kameron Marlowe on his song “I Can Lie (The Truth Is).”
The latter came to fruition via a viral TikTok Erin posted in which she dueted Marlowe’s original song garnering over 900k views. The response was enough to prompt an official version which has since accumulated nearly 1 million streams on Spotify alone.
Now, the Georgia native is looking ahead with many more exciting ventures on the horizon. With “Redneck Rich” Erin continues to shine as one of the country’s most authentic new females who isn’t afraid to show who she really is. “I hope that people take away that being redneck can be cool. I feel like the term “redneck” gets such a bad rep but I wear that title proudly.” tells Erin.
As for what’s next? Mark your calendars because Erin definitely plans to put out even more new music soon! Until then, follow along with her on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, and be sure to presave “Redneck Rich” now!
