Born and raised in Montana, Eryn has small-town, western roots that influence her and reflect in her songwriting. Marrying emotive lyrics and moving melodies, her autobiographical originals explore several genres, but cling strongly to the authenticity of folk/rock and traditional country. Her powerful and expressive vocals will hit you with every fiber in your being, leaving you inspired and wanting to hear more from this red haired siren. She finds joy in her song, and you can see and feel it in every performance. "Firefly", Bent’s first professional release, hit the public in May 2014, and was met with great review. The album is a 2015 New Mexico Music Award Winner, with 4 nominations, including "Best of the Year". Bent’s second professional release, the “Go Down Fighting” EP, also garnered several New Mexico Music Award nominations in the Best Country category in both 2019 and 2020 after its 2019 release. Bent’s third full length album, “Red”, was released to international platforms on October 29th, 2021. “Red” won Best Blues Album at the 2022 New Mexico Music Awards, in addition to earning three other nominations.
