IF YOUR RAGE CAN'T BE BEAUTIFUL *all streaming platforms except Spotify, 2026*

Unwoman (Erica Mulkey) is a solo cellist-singer-songwriter-producer based in Northern California. She has performed all over the US at steampunk, goth, horror, and sci-fi events. Her powerful sets feature stand-up five-string electric cello and vocals, with deeply immersive live looping. Unwoman’s tenth original album IF YOUR RAGE CAN’T BE BEAUTIFUL was released January 1, 2026; she also has nine covers album. Her song "The Heroine" was featured in both Welcome to Night Vale's "Triptych" episode and the steampunk documentary Vintage Tomorrows. In 2015 she received the Steampunk Chronicle Reader's Choice Award for Best Solo Musician and Best Album with Circling. Erica Mulkey began playing cello at age 9, piano at 10. She began writing songs at 13, inspired by Tori Amos and Trent Reznor — hey, it was the 90s. In 2000, while studying cello, composition, and electronic music at UC Santa Cruz, she chose the stage name Unwoman from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, in solidarity with gender traitors everywhere. As the Unwoman persona developed, she began adding her cello skills to the music she was writing and producing, playing with backing tracks but increasingly focused on solo cello-voice compositions. In 2011 she began performing with live-looping rather than backing tracks. Unwoman has also collaborated with Halou, Voltaire, Eliza Rickman, Anthony Roumanis & Monica Richards, Vernian Process, Abney Park, Caustic, Beauty Queen Autopsy, Rasputina, Nathaniel Johnstone, The Cog Is Dead, Jill Tracy, Paul Mercer, and many other acts. Always eager to share, Unwoman hosts a casual music practice stream on Twitch, Thursday nights at 9:30pm PDT, where viewers can get a sneak peak at what she’s working on. Dedicated listeners can also subscribe to all new songs including demos and drafts, at bandcamp ($20/year).
