Erin McCarley Proves She’s More Than Pop’s Pretty New Face
It’s not surprising that Erin McCarley might occasionally need to divide her attentions during an interview. “I kind of forgot about this interview, so I’m sitting in a pedicure chair,” she confesses. “It’s my only day home, so I’m getting all these girl things done that I haven’t done in a while.” In a little over a year, McCarley’s career has accelerated from unknown, independent singer-songwriter to…
