the MAN

A Folk-Rock poet and Americana songsmith with a captivating voice, cinematic songs, and a dynamic stage presence, Colorado-based artist Erik Lunde "pens lyrics that are haunting and memorable poetry married with one of the widest arrays of melodies this area knows". Having lived and wandered all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe, hopping from place to place like a character in a Jack Kerouac novel, searching for stories and songs and experiences, and chalking up about 40 different addresses across North America, Erik Lunde is a songwriter and musician whose songs and sound bears the geography, culture, and history of his midwestern origins. Influenced by a wide variety of genres including gospel hymns, bluegrass, traditional country, rock & roll, and artists like Elton John, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, and David Bowie - Lunde has created his own genre-bending mashup that reflects that dichotomy.

The founder and frontman of the Lunde Station band, a well-known staple on the Northern Colorado music scene from 2012 -2017, Lunde has re-emerged as a solo singer-songwriter, performing under his own name, and is releasing a newly completed album of original Folk-Rock & Americana songs entitled Water From The Stone on Friday, January 28th, 2022.

“His collection of 'post-modern folk-rock spirituals' draws upon deeply reflective songwriting and Americana soundscapes to create a sound that is truly his own.”

– Grateful Web

“Comprised of originality, inspiration and deep Americana roots, Lunde never fails to get the crowd moving.”

– Scene Magazine

“It's artful and soothing with its own unique sound; you would think an artist like this would flourish in this part of Colorado and subsequently crank out albums, but maybe that's because Lunde doesn't want a drop in quality.”

– Bandwagon Magazine
