From the determination found in Let You Out Again...“I’m glad I didn’t take what I was handed, cuz I’ve been wrong before and I swore I’d never settle for less than I deserve”, to the quiet absolution of Just Let It Go... “If there was something that I knew how to do to make it easier for you to stay I would”, this ep shows her versatility as both a singer and an honest songwriter.“I’ve always said that music is the constant truth. It’s allowed to grow, this time into a full band, but at it’s core, every song is still me, with a guitar, on my couch, writing about what we all go through.” That simplicity is translated, with the guidance of Baltimore producer, Steve Wright (Wrightway Studios) into a followup to her acoustic debut, Paper Dragons (05) that is lush and intimate.*afterbloom is an ep collection of her new songs in full-band production by the fab producer, Steve Wright of Wrightway Studios, Baltimore, MD. (www.wrightway.com) and a special tune produced by Bill Dixon & Jodi.THE BAND: Jodi Harman, Bill Dixon, Patrick Kisicki, Chris Clumsky and Mike BarryPICK UP YOUR COPY OF PAPER DRAGONS AT WWW.CDBABY.COM/JODIHARMAN ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ Chesapeake Music Guide By Michael Macey July 2005Paper Dragons is the debut release from Baltimore singer/songwriter Jodi Harman. Formerly with Baltimore's SuZi, she's on her own with eleven introspective and confessional songs...(about "I Fall") It's a song that, despite its meloncholy sound, is optimistic...Its melody provides one of the many memorable hooks that pop up throughout the course of the record.(about "Honestly") It has a lovely haunting melody that's complimented perfectly by the cello...The production has a nice, uncluttered sound that keeps instrumentation to a minimum...the minimalistic sound serves the production well, as it helps place focus on the lyrics and Harman's voice, which are both highlights of the album.Paper Dragons is a very strong debut that will go a long way in establishing Harman's early reputation as an intelligent and appealing songwriter. She has a good grasp of what it takes to write a song that's easy on the ears and a presentation that puts the emphasis on the words and her vocal talents. In my book, that's a winning combination.------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------You may have heard Jodi Harman before: * Featured harmonies on ''Leave'' (written by Kimberly Hall) placed in television advertisement for Warner Bros. movie, Matchstick Men, starring Nicolas Cage * Featured harmonies on "Wait" (written by Kimberly Hall) placed in WB's Felicity: Senior Year box set * Featured harmonies on several songs placed on MTV's Real World, Road Rules & Punk'd * Performed at the areas largest festivals including HFStival and at music conferences such as the Global Entertainment & Media Summit (NY), Millenium Music Conference (PA) & Dewey Music Conference (DE)
