Erik Koskinen

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.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
