Violin that speaks for itself
Here’s a little glimpse into the kind of music I love to share. Whether it’s a lively reel, a heartfelt classical piece, or a contemporary cover with a twist, I aim to create moments that feel meaningful, memorable, and just right for the setting. Below you’ll find some video clips of recent performances, a selection of my repertoire, and kind words from people I’ve had the joy of playing for.

"Working with Erica was a true joy. Her warmth - both as a person and a musician has a way of filling every space she enters. I was fortunate to have her join me on my recent NZ tour, where her playing brought a rich depth and beauty to the performance."
- Solomon Crook
Erica has been playing with us in the pub for the Sunday Irish Trad session for what feels like forever now. She's the loveliest, sweetest most talented addition to the band and really elevates any ensemble she joins. She's a delight to work with and her skills on the fiddle are incredible. - Pog Mahones
