SOLD OUT: Erin Rae, Kari Arnett

Doors 6 pm.

press release: Indie singer-songwriter Erin Rae has premiered her surreal new video for psychedelic folk rock single ‘June Bug’ with Nylon, who described Rae as “sailing in a particularly strong fleet right now— you feel this is her time to crest.”

Directed by respected filmmaker Josh Shoemaker (Hurray for the Riff Raff, Shovels And Rope, Alabama Shakes) the film is the perfect visual for Erin’s unique new sound, which has drawn caparisons as diverse as Karen Carpenter, George Harrison, Marlon Williams and Michael Nau.

Hazy like a humid Tennessee evening, the film depicts a sleepless Rae, absently trimming roses while speaking on the phone. Rae casts a lonesome figure framed in an abundant floral paradise and bathed in a gloriously spacey strawberry moonlight, creating the perfect imagery for the woozy waltz that is “June Bug.”

Discussing the inspiration for the song, Rae said "I was walking home from work and it was one of those summer nights in Nashville where the heat is just thick and heavy, and it doesn't let up. There were June Bugs all over the sidewalks and moths and everything flying around the light when I walked in the house. I was just listening to the crickets and feeling the night and imagining what someone else was doing while I was home alone.”

Discussing the film, which features subtle slo-mo reverse effects and cameos from Nashville artists Molly Parden, Coco Reilly, and Kashena Sampson, Shoemaker said that  “I had been wanting to shoot a one-shot video that would sync forwards and backwards for a long time. When I heard this track from Erin and the second verse started with "If I had it to do again over" I knew where we were headed. A meditation on how we view our interpersonal relationships. Exploring how it can be interpreted differently depending on what direction it's viewed from, what point in time it's conjured and ultimately making peace with all possibilities being both alive and dead at all times.”
