WCPO Lounge Acts's video: Erika Wennerstrom - Full Performance WCPO Lounge Acts

Erika Wennerstrom performs live for WCPO Lounge Acts. The singer/songwriter and her band play songs from her debut solo album "Sweet Unknown." Set list: - "Extraordinary Love" - 0:31 - "Twisted Highway" - 7:15 - interview - 12:35 - "Staring Out the Window" - 19:05 - "Letting Go" - 25:17 -- Erika Wennerstrom, the lead of Heartless Bastards, released her debut solo album, “Sweet Unknown,” in March of 2018 on Partisan Records. Wennerstrom’s solo songs are built on the same blues and folk foundations as her songs with the Bastards, but her flirtations with both psychedelic sounds and pop sensibilities are both ambitious and clear on “Sweet Unknown.” Although the break with the band was mutual, Wennerstrom seems to be basking in newfound freedom, singing “I walk around this crowded town / I had to re-find my way / You know I couldn't remain the same / What it is, what it is, what it is / Don't fight the change within” on her song “Good to Be Alone.” Wennerstrom stopped by WCPO Lounge Acts in 2016 for a solo/acoustic preview of songs that would eventually land on “Sweet Unknown.” On the songs’ apparent self-care theme, Wennerstrom told host Gil Kaufman, "It's about growth… yeah, self love… I just have to remember to be good to myself.” -- Erika Wennerstrom's Lounge Act was recorded on June 14th, 2019 in the WCPO Digital Lounge in Cincinnati, OH.
