erinShe’s been called a “vocal powerhouse,” a “fashion ambassador of rock & roll” and compared to Gwen Stefani more times than she can count. Now Erin Smith, former frontwoman of Maui band The Throwdowns, is making a splash with her new solo album, “American Boy.” We got a chance to hang out with Erin at the Oceanic VIP Music Hall (formerly the Roadrunner Music Hall) to watch her band perform a set that was broadcast live on Star 101.9 and chat a bit about the new album and being a fashionable frontwoman.

Some photos from the Oceanic VIP Music Hall, with some familiar faces from the local rock scene:
