The Ericksons

Sisters Bethany Valentini and Jenny Kapernick of The Ericksons began their musical careers as a way to cope with loss and personal tragedy.

Sisters Bethany Valentini and Jenny Kapernick have been making music together since they can remember. But in 2006 at the height of a cancer diagnosis, Valentini’s first husband, Lee Erickson, encouraged them to pursue music full time. Honoring his advice, the sisters began performing in New York City as The Ericksons. Since then, the two have moved back to the Midwest and recorded four albums, including their 2014 release, Bring Me Home. Special Thanks: Silverwood Park
