The Erly at The Acorn

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

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 the band’s finest work to date. Multiple singles, a music video, and 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.

Admission: $25-$55
