“Erica’s smokey, soulful voice sent chills down my spine. Her music has a power and heat. ”

“Have you ever met someone for the first time and being in their presence feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket of happiness and joy? For me, that person was Erica McKenzie. It started with her genuine, quirky, fun loving attitude, but when she began to sing, I knew she was one of the special ones. One of the most endearing things about Erica is her love of music. This was evident as she played requests from the audience in between playing some of her original music and holiday classics she would giggle to herself, which brought a smile to everyone’s face.”

““For me it was anxiety and not knowing many people. It took me a while to get a reputation built up. Once I started gigging more, I would get more gigs from that gig,” the performer said. “The challenge is just staying at it and not giving up.””

“Erica performs all around the KC-area, and plays original compositions- along with songs by artists like Norah Jones, K.T. Tunstall, Adele and Stevie Nicks. Using a guitar, pedals, and her phenomenal voice she can fill a room with the sound of an entire band.”

“Erica McKenzie performs at Martin City’s newest music venue, Somerset Wine & Cider Bar at Rosehill Gardens. ”
