Keep it To Yourself

Keep it To Yourself

RealPhonic, 2010

“Best known as an ace guitarist (for Molly Maher, Randy Weeks) and a producer/engineer (Trampled by Turtles), Erik Koskinen should also be recognized as a masterful songwriter and rousing country singer with the release of his solo album, “Keep It to Yourself,” which he’s promoting Friday at Lee’s Liquor Lounge with Maher and Dave Simonett’s Dead Man Winter.

— Chris Riemenschneider - Star Tribune

Mandan Hayseed

Mandan Hayseed

self-released, 2004

— Richard Medek
