America Jayne

America Jayne is the moniker for Brooklyn based alt-rock artist, Erica Pierce. She was raised in a small town in Connecticut with more cows per square mile than people. To say there was little to do was an understatement.

Crawling to get out of the small town she had known her whole life, Erica decided she would take a big leap. She packed her bags and moved into her first New York City apartment in January of 2018. She got hired as a bartender at the famous music venue, Rockwood Music Hall, in the Lower East Side. This is where everything changed. She was surrounded by live music every night and fell in love with the fast-paced, local-music driven scene the venue had cultivated.

Her coworkers were a mix of musicians, actors, and creatives who wanted to have their voices heard as much as she did. Through the venue and nightly drinks at an after-hours bar next door, she garnered a group of friends who wanted to help her make music. And thus, America Jayne was born.

While she started her career making folk inspired music, she soon realized she missed the grit and honesty of alternative rock. She teamed up with Ronnie DiSimone (producer, co-writer), Tiger Darrow (co-writer) to create a new and improved version of America Jayne. America Jayne released her debut EP, Homecoming, on June 30th, 2022.

Her sophomore EP, "Shove It", is set to release in the summer of 2023.
