My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/26/2005
Band Website: iacmusic.com/folkgoddess
Band Members: Jes my l'il ole Folk Goddess self!

I would love to add a bassist, a congo player, a keyboardist, and another singer for backup vocals and harmonies.

Oh, and if ya like the way my stuff sounds, you have GOT to contact David Leonard at www.revealaudio.com or visit his MySpace page at www.myspace.com/revealaudio . He is "da bomb" of producing and engineering your stuff... not to mention he's a riot and he always has great munchies!!!
Influences: My biggest influences have been the Greenwich Village players of days long ago. Arlo Guthrie, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell...those types. Of course, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Dan Fogleberg, Nanci Griffith, and those folks have certainly contributed to the formation of my lyrical and musical style as well.

My biggest influence of late has been those folks who have been persistent in telling me I need to change my style...they have convinced me to actually maintain my style so as not to have a "canned or cloned" sound. It is because of them, though, that I've mixed it up a little bit and enhanced my style with depth and musical variation.

I knew I "had 'em" when I began being introduced, at Open Mic Nite, as "The Cultural Part of the Evening... Folk Goddess Shari Moss". Do the compliments GET any better than that?

Sounds Like: Oh, I dunno... I like to think I'm one of a kind!!!

And, by the way, the Folk Goddess is also an author. My first book, "Couples Cafe: Where Couples Go to be Devoured by Love" was released February 2006. Check out Couples Cafe's MySpace page at Couples Cafe
Record Label: Where do I sign... !!!!
Type of Label: None
