Career
Solo work
Fox had performed in the Philadelphia music scene before establishing herself as a solo artist.[1][6] Her Bandcamp discography lists do it yourself heartbreak (2015), Your Joy (2018), Forbidden Youth (2018), Pictures (2020), Fuzzy Logic (2021), For Your Loss (2023), Swing and a Miss (2025), and the single "Raised" (2026).[2][7][8]
In 2020, WXPN featured Fox's single "Pictures", describing it as a departure from the grunge-oriented sound of Resilient and noting that proceeds from the track were directed to Mutual Aid Philly.[3]
Fox's 2021 album Fuzzy Logic was described on Bandcamp as a record about "losses and gains, insecurities, and the agony of honest feelings", with themes of communication and understanding.[7] Her 2023 EP For Your Loss was described by Fox as a work shaped by grief.[2] The single "Raised" was released on 8 March 2026, with proceeds benefiting Women Against Abuse in Philadelphia.[8]

Fox performs with Erin Fox and The Hounds, an orchestral backing ensemble based in Philadelphia.[1][4] On her official website, the group is described as an ensemble that blends classical elements with contemporary pop songwriting; the site also states that the group has appeared at the Philadelphia Folk Festival and Musikfest.[1] The Bandcamp release Flowers From the Funeral credits Fox on guitars, vocals, and viola.[4]

Fox has appeared as a featured vocalist with The Rock Orchestra, a production described by event organizers as a candlelit show in which 14 classical musicians perform rock and metal repertoire with amplified instrumentation.[9] Her performances with the ensemble include recorded versions of "Zombie" by The Cranberries and "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence released through the orchestra's official YouTube channel.[5][10]
