Erin Bentlage

Hailing from the green mountains of Vermont, Erin Bentlage is a GRAMMY® nominated artist who writes, sings, and plays music in search of organic sound. Raised in a small town near the city of Burlington, she developed her love for musical expression through ballet and classical piano lessons, and later found her space in the contemporary realm through jazz and improvisation as both a performer and an arranger/composer. In 2020, she was selected for the Los Angeles Jazz Society’s ‘New Note’ project for which she was commissioned to create a new, twenty-minute original work. Erin is one of four in her multi-award-winning vocal group and compositional collective, säje, alongside Sara Gazarek, Amanda Taylor, and Johnaye Kendrick, and as an solo artist has been featured on a growing number of projects including releases by Jacob Collier (Djesse Vol. 3), Kiefer (When There’s Love Around), Kate McGarry (What To Wear In The Dark), Christian Euman (Allemong), and a collaboration with Amber Navran (Golden Light). Erin is currently finishing her debut record which she looks forward to sharing with the world someday soon
