Soaring vocals, stellar musical performances, and an upbeat vibe are the essence of this exciting debut album by award--winning vocalist, Erin Krebs. Love Always Wins is comprised of eleven original songs presented in a variety of styles from start to finish- from traditional Jazz to soulful R&B and gritty Blues. Listeners will be tapping thier feet to the swing tunes, falling for the ballads, and groovin' with the R&B songs. Erin has always been influenced by the Great American Songbook and traditional Blues styles. The songs and arrangements are reminiscent of those traditions, but with a modern twist. Her lyrics are honest and somehow familiar, because they are about things we encounter in everyday life. The recording process was also influenced by the Jazz and Blues masters of the past, with the musicians all working together in the moment. Love Always Wins takes you back to that simpler time, and it works because Erin assembled an amazing group of talented and award-winning musicians. Featured musicians include: Stephen Cooper on tenor sax (tracks 1, 8, and 10), Mark Martin on piano (tracks 1-8), Brian Gruselle on Hammond organ (tracks 9-11), and Erin's partner, guitarist Jeff Johnston (tracks 6-11). Those that have seen Erin Krebs perform know that when she sings, she sings from her soul. Her performances are genuine and heartfelt, and audiences feel an instant connection to her and her music. New listeners will sense that same incredible energy, and it resonates in the performances on this album, Love Always Wins.

Heartfelt vocals, beautiful melodies, and fresh arrangements shine on this Christmas EP released by Erin Krebs and her partner, guitarist Jeff Johnston. All is Calm is comprised of two original songs and five traditional carols presented simply and beautifully. Erin's inspiration for releasing this album comes from traditions of singing and playing these carols as a child with her family. The texture could seem limited, but somehow, it does not sound that way. The duo's re-harmonizations add fullness, and Erin's addition of flute solos on three of the songs add a different tone color. As a Jazz vocalist, Erin is accustomed to improvising on the melody; throughout the album she does just enough to make things interesting, but not so much as to take away from the already wonderful melodies. The album includes a brand new original song "All Year Long". The melody for this song started as a lullaby for Erin's niece Evelyn, with lyrics inspired by the need for peace "not just here, not just now, but forevermore" during a time that feels so divisive and difficult for many. Taking traditional and well-loved carols and making them your own is no easy task, but Erin and Jeff make it happen with their sincerity, musicianship, and chemistry as a duo.
