About Erin

Erin Oakley is a singer, songwriter, and worship leader based in Madison, Wisconsin. She writes and records across multiple genres—from contemporary Christian to country, pop, and even collaborations with Christian hip-hop artists.

With festival appearances at Brat Fest, LifeFest, One Fest, and Faith Jam, and having shared stages with Grammy Award winner Al Jarreau, Peter Furler, and Phil Joel of the Newsboys, Erin brings a seasoned warmth to every performance. Whether leading worship, playing a festival stage, or sharing songs in an intimate setting, she connects through honest storytelling, faith-filled music, and melodies that tend to stay with you long after the moment ends.

Before moving to Nashville in 2013, Erin performed more than 50 shows a year with the Wisconsin Dells–based country band Swifkick. During her time in Nashville, she worked in an office overlooking Music Row, led worship, and sang in the indie pop rock band Rutherford. She has been invited to sing at events around the country and has appeared in songwriter showcases, including performances at the iconic Bluebird Café.

Her debut album Dreams & Melodies, released in 2013, was self-produced and is available everywhere. She is currently working on her sophomore album, Stories & Songs—a project shaped by the music and moments God has woven into her life over the past decade.

Erin also serves as Casting Director and Associate Producer for the feature film To Everything After, where she appears in a small role and performs her original song "Out of Love."

She lives on a small farm with her husband, Mike, their two daughters, and a handful of very well-loved cats.
