Barn Concert Series: Erin Krebs Duo
From sultry jazz to blues and soul, Erin Krebs lights up the stage with electrifying performances that reflect her genuine passion and zest for life. A celebrated artist in the Wisconsin music scene, Erin has been honored with ten Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) Awards, including Jazz Artist of the Year (2025, 2023, 2018) and Female Vocalist of the Year (2019). Erin’s talent is recognized beyond the midwest as well, as she is a proud voting member of The Recording Academy (GRAMMY®️ Awards).
Erin’s love for music was evident from an early age—she was belting out songs on tabletops by age three. A Southern Wisconsin native, she earned her Bachelor of Music Education degree from UW-Oshkosh and spent a decade teaching music before dedicating herself fully to her career as a vocalist and music educator.
Today, Erin leads her own jazz group, fronts the blues and soul powerhouse Mama Ginger & the Red Hots, and collaborates with Oshkosh’s Water City Jazz Orchestra. She has also been a featured guest with numerous acclaimed ensembles across the Fox Valley and beyond.
Erin’s discography includes the award-winning album Brighter Days, released by Sun Goose Records, which showcases her remarkable artistry and has plans for a 2026 album as well… stay tuned.
