About the Artists:
The Elry
Michigan-based Indie-Soul group The Erly combine sonic elements from '60s and '70s Rock, Pop, and Funk, creating a fresh "Modern Disco" sound and vibe of their own. Fueled by collaboration, friendship and timeless good vibes, the quartet would fit right in at Woodstock ‘69 or at the indie nerve-center that is SXSW. Most of The Erly's music features clean guitar work, layered vocals, and groovy undertones that energize even their most solemn-sounding tracks. The band is composed of Drummer Fran Gleason, Bassist Collin Mattiford, Guitarist Trevor McDonald and Keyboardist Alyssa Serviss, with all 4 members featured on vocals. The Erly was created in 2018 when Mattiford and Gleason decided to expand upon their pre-established musical duo. Since their formation in 2018, The Erly have released two full albums and four singles with more music on the way. Their new single "Paralyzed" drops on August 16th alongside an official music video. "Paralyzed" will be featured on The Erly's upcoming record, Culture Fever, available November 3rd, 2023. For all announcements and updates, stay connected with The Erly on social media!
