Winner of the 2017 Famous Dave’s
Battle of the Blues Band

Erin McCawley’s Harrison Street Band is based out of the Twin Cities of Minnesota, but their sound is nationally influenced and their relatability is universal. Their music is strongly rooted in the blues, but branches out into funk, rock and Americana.

Erin McCawley is a natural entertainer. She has the ability to engage and empower a crowd with not only her lyrics, but with the confidence, energy and emotion she brings to the stage. She delivers every note with a voice that seems to rise from the soles of her feet. “It’s like watching music move!” said a recent audience member.

Since starting in 2011, Harrison Street has won Famous Dave’s Battle of the Blues Band, the Minnesota Blues Society’s Road to Memphis and was a semi-finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. They’ve had the privilege of performing live on television during the WCCO Mid-Morning Show, and on radio at KFAI, as well as at several festivals and clubs throughout the Midwest. They have released three albums and are continually adding to their impressive repertoire of original music.

 “It has to be something really special and refreshing to keep my attention. Well, Erin McCawley and Harrison Street did just that. With a tightly wound band, Erin brings to each performance the sass, the presence and professionalism; she has the audience wanting more. Once you see Harrison Street, you’re going to go back for more I guarantee that!” Gil Anthony/Host of Blues Power for 25 years. KBA recipient 2013 Commercial Radio

“A vocalist that grabs your attention no matter where you’re standing. Erin McCawley is one of the best the Twin Cities has to offer.” – Gary Eckhart, Blues photographer, writer for Blue Monday Monthly and 2016 MN Blues Hall of Fame Inductee.

“Harrison Street is the real deal with ‘the No-Drama Mama’, Erin McCawley packing dynamic pipes charismatically out front along with a VERY SOLID rhythm section of seasoned musicians. All of this leads to the sum of a powerful keg of dynamic fun and great entertainment!” – Dan Rheume, Northwoods Blues Festival
