Singer, songwriter, mother, and entrepreneur Erin Duvall releases her country music Mother’s Day song, “To Be Here.” The beautiful tribute to all mothers out there is about the magical love she has for her children and the admiration she has for anyone who is raising children or has raised them. “To Be Here” lyrically focuses on the selflessness of motherhood and the different phases of Erin’s life that she has experienced, including its many ups and downs. ‘Being a parent is spelled out in time. There’s no magical dance or a special rhyme. It’s about being present in their everyday life and teaching them the steps to learn to fly. Humble, gracious, caring and kind.’
Erin says, ‘”To Be Here” is such a special song to me. My children were so involved in the whole process and were my entire inspiration. From the different phases in my life I have experienced with them, to their giggles that inspired my melody, to their tiny voices that weave throughout the song, it created beautiful symmetry to the song. We wanted a whimsical approach that feels like love floating around and wrapping you up in a safe place because that is what being a parent is all about. No matter what hardships you may experience, your love is never ending, and you know the most important thing for your children is just “to be here.”’
Erin embraces her country music songwriting about life, love, and family in some of its most raw forms. When it comes to being a mother, the Texas-based artist says, “If I have learned anything as a parent, it is that these words are so true. We are meant to guide our children to eventually learn to walk and then fly on their own. We are supposed to teach them that it is ok to fall, and more importantly, we are supposed to teach them to find the courage to get back up and try again. And sometimes just knowing you are there, even if they don’t need you at that moment, is everything for a child, at any age.”
As the guiding force in her kids lives, the song speaks about Erin paying tribute to her kids for giving her a reason to be here. The transformative experience of becoming a mother is one Erin doesn’t take for granted. “When I became a mother myself, I felt like a huge part of my soul was filled, and I was forever changed. This song is for my children, who are my whole world, and to anyone who is raising or has raised children. Because our jobs are never done, and it is the hardest, but greatest and most fulfilling job in the entire world.”
Erin’s artistry continues to empower others through her honest storytelling. As a singer, she sets herself apart from others through her truthful perspective on motherhood, which includes heartbreak and broken dreams but also resilience and grace. Erin has also received high praise for her latest single and music video releases, “Walking Country Song” and “Too Little, Too Late.”

Erin’s unique approach to music has drawn comparisons to singers like Janis Joplin, Natalie Maines, and Susan Tedeschi.

By delivering raspy country vocals, Erin sets herself apart from other women in today’s country music scene. She belts, teases, and soars into listeners’ ears with her roadhouse bluesy tunes and the sultry sounds of her vocals.
Erin’s debut album, Out of Focus, was recorded in 2010 with producer and songwriter Rob Giles. Rob Giles is a singer-songwriter known for his solo work, along with working with Andy Summers of the Police and the band The Rescues.

The exciting animated world of Aunty E started in 2006 with producer Billy Henry. Billy has worked with prominent acts like The Chicks, Courtyard Hounds, Fleetwood Mac, and Shakira.The project is very near and dear to Erin’s heart, and she is excited to share the progress with all of you as she revamps it. Aunty E now features over twenty characters, a book series, and an album.
As an influential philanthropist, Erin Duvall and her sister, Molly Duvall Thomas, founded a multimedia brand known as Sisters of Red. Sharing their love of fashion, design, travel, and all things real and beautiful, Sisters of Red started in 2017 as a creative outlet to share their inspiration. As a sister-duo, the two share a passion for giving to help make a difference in the lives of others.
“I have grown up with two very strong examples of family first, hard work and giving back. So now, as a single mother of four, I feel very strongly to leave a legacy behind for my children that makes them proud,” says Duvall. With the passion that burns inside Erin Duvall, she will excel in all aspects of her career, especially in an ever-increasing world of burn-outs and flashes that dispense as quickly as the wick is lit.
