With honey-sweet vocals and a soft hum that speaks to an older time, Erisy Watt has cultivated a sound of simplicity, a synthesis of soul and folk that is freshly her own. Joined by bassist and vocalist, Rafaell Rozendo, and guitarist, Jeremy Ferrara, Watt delivers every sound, song, and story with joy and ease.Raised in Nashville, TN yet based in Santa Barbara, CA, Watt and her bandmates draw inspiration from a shared love of adventure and community. With effortless harmonies, delightful guitar licks, hearty bass rhythms, and the occasional whistle, their musicianship, as well as friendship, is undeniable.For the members of Erisy Watt, there is no separation between the musicians and their music. The trio that sings and smiles through every song is those songs personified, and the result is an immediate relationship forged with the audience that echoes long after their instruments have been laid to rest. Their music holds you, it swoons and it sways you, and finally it tosses you a ball and implores you to play with them. Whether live or recorded, their limitless vocals and thoughtfully developed melodies speak to an approach to life that is devoid of cynicism. They- and their music- are honest and hopeful and real. Nothing remains in the shadows.After travelling to various ends of the earth, Erisy Watt, Jeremy Ferrara, and Rafaell Rozendo have reunited on California's Central Coast where their journey began. Their delight at this reunion is unmistakable in their faces and it resonates through their music. To see them play is to witness each person considering what they can add to make their songs reach new heights, and they celebrate these contributions with an energy that fills every corner of the room. They simply cannot wait to play together, and the music they produce is rife with the love and laughter of each individual. They play with the same joyful engagement whether alone or at a sold out show, and since joy is by nature contagious, their audiences soon reflect the tender affection they see and hear from the stage.After far-reaching solo adventures, the band is now taking to the road as one to explore just what sort of mark they might leave on fresh audiences up and down the Pacific Coast. When they set off for their tour in summer 2017, they will be bringing with them their Cabin by the Sea series that raises money for nonprofits from the communities where they're playing. For those of us who've been lucky enough to count these three among our own, we can only advise the folks in the towns along their route to get out and meet them, your lives will be better for it.
