Band Members: Barbara McDonald - vocals & acoustic guitar, John Perkins - background vox, guitars, keys and other instruments, Benny - percussion, and various other guest UK & US musicians
Influences: I enjoy and am influenced, even subtly, by SO SO MANY artists and genres... but esp. singer/songwriters from the 70s, like James Taylor, the most amazing Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Annie Lennox, CSN&Y, Carole King, and Bonnie Raitt to my fellow indie artist friends and John Mayer, Shawn Colvin, Rachael Yamagata, Jesse Reuben, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Jonatha Brooke, Imogen Heap, Howie Day, Sting, Citizen Cope, Sarah McLachlan, Brian Vander Ark and great bands like the Beatles, Coldplay, Wilco, Snow Patrol, Dave Matthews Band, Stereophonics, Chris Cornell, Incubus, Linkin Park ...and this is ONLY the tip of the iceberg! I could keep naming favorites and influences for a whole day...I usually like funky, acoustic, eclectic...but I'll try anything once ; ) Think there's an artist I'd get into? Write and tell me!
I'm a music junkie and listen to music all day long so I discover or re-discover an artist a day!!....Hope today's the day you discover me! : )
Sounds Like: My voice varies with the style song, critics can't agree, so here's what they've said:....
"she's an original," Christine McVie, Joni Mitchell, Annie Lennox, Rickie Lee Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Sarah McLachlan...who do you think I sound like?
