Erisy Watt is a Los Angeles-based songwriter whose music feels both rooted and expansive, shifting from earthy to cosmic, contemplative to playful. Described by No Depression as “what contemporary folk sounds like at its peak,” her songs echo the spirit of 60s and 70s folk while pushing beyond any one decade or genre. Her latest album, not either or but everything, co-produced with Luke Temple, explores themes of connection, impermanence, and adaptation, shaped in part by her work teaching ecological field courses on coral reefs in Southeast Asia over the past decade. Raised in Nashville and now based in LA after years in Portland, Erisy draws from a wide and vivid range of lived experience, weaving stories that sit between the abstract and the tangible, the miraculous and the mundane. She’s been touring in support of the record since its release.
