Erin Bode (her surname is pronounced as two syllables, each with long vowels) is a singer who is comfortable mixing jazz standards with well-known pop tunes and classics from the Great American Songbook in a typical performance.
Following the release of a self-produced CD (Requests) in 2001, which included a locally popular version of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time,” her career took off. Receiving heavy local airplay, she was signed to the St. Louis- based Maxjazz label, which released her CD Don’t Take Your Time in 2004, and included an updated version of “Time After Time” that was inspired by the late singer Eva Cassidy.
This CD gave her much greater national exposure. Erin Bode has frequently been compared by critics and jazz radio hosts to both Cassidy and the young jazz superstar Norah Jones for her willingness to explore a wide range of material in a fresh, often subtle manner.
