    Erin Elyse Jeffreys Episode 10

    Howdy y’all, welcome back to another episode of Hot Pot Poddie Podcast, where we discuss all things women in music. I’m Jenn Tatro, and this is Brooke Holman your hosts. Today, we’re excited to bring you an incredible musician and all around gem of a human, Erin Elyse Jeffreys. She's the front woman of the Denver based band- Elyse Therose. Elyse Therose blends raw emotional lyricism, gritty guitars and synth driven alternative rock into a masterpiece fans of Deftones, Phantogram and Hayley Williams will love. As the project’s sole writer, composer, and producer, Erin creates powerful music that comes alive through dynamic live performances balancing heavy rock energy with atmospheric synth textures.
