FunkRock

Michigan indie-soul collective The Erly take collaboration, friendship and good vibes to the absolute max with a riveting fusion of ‘60s and ‘70s rock, pop, funk and modern indie.

About the Artists:

The Erly is a four-piece band from Niles, Michigan, featuring Fran Gleason (drums, vocals), Trevor McDonald (guitar, vocals), Collin Mattiford (bass, vocals), and Simon Kauffman Hurst (keys). While the band’s core sound hits as an unmistakable blend of jam, soul, and groove, these four musicians have never shied away - albeit via live performance or recorded tracks - from experimenting down a path of finding new avenues to create a unique original identity.

With this flexible dynamic, their upcoming record 'Salem Lights' will highlight what may be the band’s finest work to date. Multiple singles, a music video, mastering from longtime producer Paul Bennett - this 11-track album has intuitive, enigmatic themes alongside rhythmic, precise, clean musical precision. Salem Nights will be available via all streaming platforms on September 4, 2024.

Having played basements to dive bars to festivals to established local venues; in front of every crowd - from release shows with hundreds to humble beginnings with an intimate handful, whether it’s been in Michiana or the dozen-plus other states across the country The Erly has made its mark…Fran, Trevor, Collin, and Simon are primed to continue an upward stride into 2025.
