I was so excited to get to meet and hang out with Erick Irons on The Hiyu for episode 7 of The Emerald Gem!

Erick carries such a welcoming light about him and I really enjoyed our time on the podcast. Erick and Balcony Bridge had similar starts in Seattle; from playing open mics at the likes of the legendary Conor Bryne in Ballard to having our own episode features on The Slap Shack. I've been following Erick's growth over the last two years and saw his live performance at Barboza for Winter Prom featuring Henry Mansfield and Liv Victorino.

Erick is a powerful performer with songs that carry so much momentum that you can't help but get swept up in the wave he and his band carries. His show floored me and I can't wait to see his next one!

Erick has released a number of EP's and has three more albums planned for the studio. I was inspired to learn how Erick has built his music career through hard work and time management. Powered by joy, Erick has a bright future ahead of him. I enjoyed getting to learn about his perspective on music, heart break, growing as a person and sharing what we love about Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
