Erin Bolton

I consider my musical style to fall somewhere in between the genres; indie-pop, folk, and dreamy alternative. I am very passionate about what I do, and can't help but put my heart into every performance I do because - plainly, I adore performing music.

You can expect the following :

- A set tailored to your vision - whether that be a more upbeat / indie rock and roll set for your backyard anniversary party, or a romantic and introspective folky love set for your wedding. I take requests, and have a large list of songs I cover that range anywhere from Billie Holiday, to Drake, to Elvis, to Blondie, to Nelly, to Van Morrison - etc and so on. I make every song my own - and I tailor my set list to fit your event.
- A very professional and punctual musician who looks, and acts the part. I take my job very seriously, and it shows. I have lots of customer service experience - and every interaction and event is extremely important to me.
- Genuine care for your musical entertainment needs. I understand that organizing important events is stressful, and finding the perfect musical entertainment can seem daunting. However - I am a very skilled and open communicator, and keep you in the loop when putting together your perfect set list. Part of what I provide is peace of mind. This is what I do - and hey, you should get to be excited!
- I use really good gear. I have two PA systems, one which is volume rated for up to 250 people, the other is rated for larger indoor events. If you are hosting a larger outdoor event, I am able to rent a larger PA if needed.
- I do ask that if you hire me, please keep in mind I need power. Though I provide my own equipment, I do require at least two reliable GROUNDED power outlets to make the magic happen...unless you want an acoustic in the middle of a forest wedding - which hey, I'd be happy to do!

- ** For weddings I offer my song-writing services, and can write you your own original love song. You provide me with some details about your love story, i.e - how you met, fondly shared memories, relationship quirks, first dates, the proposal, or whatever comes to mind - and I write you an original song. I commission original love songs for $250, and can record it professionally in my studio for an additional $75 for you to keep. What a special keepsake!

When performing as a cover artist, Erin sings everything from Billy Holliday to Billie Eilish, and from Ozzy to Kid Cudi - and has something in her repertoire for every listener in attendance at your event. Using only top of the line equipment, she is a fully independent artist and performer, and her professionalism is top notch.

A graduate (2011) of the highly competitive Independent Music Production Program at Seneca@York in Toronto ON, Erin possesses both street, and industry knowledge in the world of music. With loads of experience, she has been an independent singer-songwriter for over fifteen years, and a performing artist for over a decade.

Having years of experience performing for private functions, corporate events, parties, weddings, restaurants, hotels, memorials and Birthdays, Erin has hundreds of well known songs at the ready. Whatever your event requires - she has a set for that!

When writing her own music, Erin goes by her stage moniker, Arlo Sun (on instagram @arlo__sun)
You can hear her love for nature in her lyrics, and every song tells a relatable tale in a playfully poetic way.
Before becoming Arlo Sun, Bolton released her debut album, 'Cruel' under her given name.

''Bolton confesses Cruel is a “tender one,” reflecting the many changes and self-inflicted growing pains in her life.'' -In the Hills Magazine Review.

Currently she is working towards releasing her debut album as Arlo Sun, due for release in 2022.

I provide all my own equipment, however I need power to make the magic happen.
At minimum I require two reliable (grounded, ha!) 3 prong outlets. I use only top of the line equipment, and currently have two PA's. One is volume rated for events of up to 250 people, and the other for larger indoor events. For outdoor events that are large in size, I am able to rent larger PA systems.

I require a performance space that is at least 6ft by 6ft, and the opportunity to arrive earlier than the event start so I can do sound check before guests arrive. Thank-you
