Erin Brings a Lifetime of Top-Tier Entertainment Industry Experience

​

Erin's indomitable spirit fueled a hugely successful 30-year career in the music and entertainment industries, including many years as a top-rated host on industry leading, major market stations including KROQ/Los Angeles, WMMR/Philadelphia, and WXPN/World Cafe. While at 'MMR, Erin's executive prowess was awarded no fewer than four times when two of the radio industry's preeminent trade mags named her #1 Major Market Music Director in America!

In addition to a great ear for hit songs, Erin's event coordination skills facilitated hundreds of large-scale concerts and promotions with artists from AC/DC to ZZ Top. Her highly desired command of no-nonsense logistics landed her on the event production team of the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia. She also produced many events for the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the legendary GRAMMYs!

​

Erin's entrepreneurial abilities are best evidenced by the success of her business, Roccer Mom LLC, launched in 2008, the cornerstone of which was Rock & Roll After School, a music education platform for kids and teens in the Philadelphia area.

​

In the fall of 2014, Erin was invited to do a TEDx talk about her work with children & music and in 2021 was a featured guest on the podcast, The Behavioral Corner with Steve Martorano.

EXPERTISE

ENGAGE

Erin's history speaks for itself; a successful major market radio host and programming executive, a concert/event producer from The Allman Brothers to a Republican National Convention, enviable entrepreneurial skills, an in-demand logistician, and... and...and...

Long before entering the entertainment industry as an adult, Erin spent years as a child actor appearing in national TV spots for many instantly recognizable, national brands like Excedrin and Sani-White, for example. Erin's work with The Wilma, Methacton Community Theater and now, People's Light has rekindled the interest she once held in her first love...Community Theatre, and she is well versed in all facets thereof from acting to wardrobe.

From concept to execution, Erin is a whirlwind of efficiency, squeezing the last ounce of value from every penny ensuring successful results every time. It could truly be argued, Erin is one of those people who could draw blood from a stone! Her unparalleled networking ability makes for excellent relationship building (an asset for every business) and her devotion to excellence means success every time.
