"Don't Be Scared, Don't Be Alarmed" is the title of The Erickson's latest album. But if you meet the sisters, fear isn't a feeling you'll experience. They're extremely pleasant folks and their personalities come through in their live performances all over the country.

Bethany and Jennifer are Mississippi River Valley girls. You can hear it in their voices and their music. Originally from La Crosse, they did the New York thing for a while, playing their music, but they discovered that the Midwest is their home.

The Erickson's stopped in the Radio Heartland studios in November 2010 to chat and play some songs from their record.
