AVP 017: Erin Heist, Singer-Songwriter on her debut EP, “Another Rainy Day”
“Last year felt like we were all going through a bunch of rainy days,” Erin Heist told Active Voice host Katie Bausler. When the pandemic shut down life as we know it, this Alaskan singer-songwriter had a ready outlet, a songwriting project complete with an online writing group and deadlines. The result is her debut recording Another Rainy Day, a collection of songs of “grit, loss, and redemption,” recorded, mixed and produced with her cousin, producer and DJ Patrick Troll.
