Erik Koskinen was born in Fort Collins, Colorado, raised in Northern Michigan and upper New York state, lived in urban Minneapolis and lives in Cleveland. Minnesota. Not Ohio. He lives on a farm and owns a recording studio in the town of 717. Koskinen grew up with the rhythms of weather, factory towns, and farmlands. Koskinen worked in construction for years as he developed his music career. Sprouted from a blend of American folk, country, rock-n-roll, and blues, Erik Koskinen albums are a lyrical and musical metaphor of America’s theaters of war, history, relationships, and reflections in the mirror. Knowing but not didactic, Koskinen channels the ways of Whitman and reverently enters the anthology of uniquely crafted wry songs with the likes of Woody Guthrie and Ry Cooder while speaking as plainly as your neighbor. The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls Koskinen “the real deal” and “the best country songwriter in Minnesota.”
