“Powerful!”
-Francis Ford Coppola

From Broadway to pop, classical to rock, her stunning vocal range and charisma light up stages big and small.

A Minnesota Native, Internationally Acclaimed:
Erin’s musical journey began in small-town Minnesota, where she sang weekly in church. After earning a B.A. in English Literature (Magna Cum Laude) at UMN-TC and honing her craft at the Manhattan School of Music, she toured the U.S. and Europe as a singer-songwriter before making her mark in Los Angeles. Erin quickly secured her SAG-AFTRA and AEA memberships, released an award-winning album with Spinout Records, and earned accolades like “Best Female Vocalist” from Rockwired Magazine. She’s performed at prestigious events like SXSW and shared her talent with audiences worldwide.
“Erin never ceases to amaze me. Her versatility in basically any genre, from musicals to pop/ rock is unmatched. She is always my first call.”
-Jeremy Weinglass, Pianist, Performer, Composer
From Heartbreak to Harmony:
When her partnership with her record label ended, it felt like the world fell apart. To make matters worse, her long-term relationship came to an abrupt end at the exact same time. Erin was left standing at a crossroads, heartbroken and lost. The bright future she had envisioned was suddenly clouded by uncertainty and pain. But in the midst of that darkness, she turned to the one thing that had always been there for her: music.
Late nights with a pen in hand, she scribbled her heartache and frustrations into what would become her first one-woman show. Alone on stage, armed with nothing but her voice and her stories, Erin bared her soul—leading audiences from laughter to tears, pouring every ounce of herself into her performance. It wasn’t just a show; it was a journey through heartbreak, healing, and hope.
The raw honesty and emotional depth of her performances connected with people in ways she had never imagined. Word spread, and what began as a single show soon grew into something bigger. She toured the U.S., bringing her deeply personal story to life on stages across the country. Every performance was different, weaving together original pop songs, Broadway classics, jazz, rock, standards, and even the occasional aria. Erin’s show was a kaleidoscope of emotion, touching on every part of the human experience—joy, pain, resilience, and love.
But that one-woman show wasn’t just a healing process for Erin. It was the birth of a new chapter in her career. Through these performances, she rediscovered herself, tapping into the full range of her talents and passions. The experience transformed her into the Renaissance Woman she is today—a multifaceted artist equally at home in cabarets, musicals, operas, recordings, concerts, and events ranging from corporate functions to intimate weddings.
It was in that heartbreak that Erin found her strength, her voice, and her true calling. She emerged from that chapter stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to keep doing what she loves: performing. From standing alone on stage with her stories to captivating audiences at high-profile events, Erin Carere turned her personal heartbreak into a celebration of art, resilience, and the transformative power of music.

FEBRUARY 21st, 2023:
The THEME from
SPY v SPIA
is available wherever you stream music!
So.... *I* use Tidal. But you can watch it on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaUJNn5NeLo), listen on Spotify, or make videos on TikTok. Go crazy! Have fun. You can listen anywhere you can type in "Erin Carere Spy v Spia theme".
All my life I've wanted to sing a big, glorious SPY THEME SONG like Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Carly Simon, and later Adele. Well, thanks to a little indie pilot/ short/ proof of concept romantic comedy made by yours truly, Carlo Carere, and an incredible cast and crew, Spy v Spia was born...
I turned to my longtime friend Mark Mallman for help with the theme song since he wrote one of my all-time favorite songs and is generally just plain wonderful. And he wrote this theme- a blend of sexy, funny, divalicious in a way I could have only DREAMED.
So, enjoy, kids! Wherever you listen to music.
Classically trained, schooled in soul, hooked on pop...
Erin Carere, Diva!
Classical pop crossover, Broadway, Jazz, Singer-Songwriter, Pop, Rock, Country, Folk.
Think of Erin like Linda Ronstadt, with the ferocity of Gaga and the hilarity of Midler.
Available to travel for performances, as in recent years I have been contracted to perform around the world, particularly in California, the Midwest of the United States, and Europe. Have passport, will travel!

Erin was Fabulous! Over exceeded every expectation!
Erin is talented and stunningly beautiful! She played the role of the Bond Girl, Octopussy, at our 007 themed Gala. She showed up dressed to kill, took pictures with all of our guests and performed a few songs. Our guests were raving about her! Not only did she do a fabulous job at our event, she is upbeat and friendly, flexible, dependable, and was very communicative prior to the event.
