Born and raised in Amador County, country music singer Erin McKinney combines the vocal power of Miranda Lambert with the raw style of Gretchen Wilson.
After winning the Amador Idol competition in 2005 Erin made the decision to begin pursuing a career in country music and started making frequent trips to Nashville to work with some of the top vocal coaches in the industry, as well as working as a demo singer for many of Nashville's top writers. In 2008 with the support of friends and family she began the process of putting together a band and staking out on her own to pursue her dreams, thus The Erin McKinney Band was formed.
Erin started out pursuing music on a part time basis while working as a card dealer at Jackson Rancheria Casino, but as her success began to grow she realized that she needed to turn her passion into a full-time career, Erin left her job at Jackson Rancheria Casino after twelve years in late 2010 and since then has been singing lead vocals as well as playing rhythm guitar and mandolin in her band on a regular basis at many of the most popular venues throughout the Northern California and Nevada regions. She has played shows with some of the top acts in country music including Love and Theft, Bomshel's Kristy Osmunson and American Idol finalist Danny Gokey. Erin has also begun the process of putting together an EP of original songs that is expected to be released in late 2011 or early 2012.
Current band members include drummer Toby Spencer, who has been playing drums for over twenty-five years and is also a science teacher at a local Sacramento high school; Bass player Joe Castro who has been playing bass with many touring bands for over twenty years, and journeyman guitar player Jimmy Ashley who is no stranger to the Sacramento country music scene and has been seen playing with many of the area's top bands.
