My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 02/11/2005
Band Website: www.kerie.net
Band Members: www.artistcollaboration.com
Influences: Artists I admire – in no particular order.Annie Lennox, Harriet Wheeler, Ella Fitzgerald, Nora Jones, Etta James, Jet Radio Head Jeff Buckley Depeche Mode, Barenaked Ladies, Harry Connick Jr., Coldplay, Oasis, Sarah McLachlan, Nat King Cole, Snow Patrol, Turin Brakes, Over The Rhine, Fiona Apple, Starsailor, The Beatles, Rufus Wainwright... many many more.
Sounds Like: One of the biggest compliments I’ve ever received was being told I have the crystalline quality to my voice like that of Linda Eder. If you don’t know who she is, look her up. She has been compared to Barbara Streisand but I think she’s much better. What a compliment to be compared Linda – thank you. I’ve also been told I sound somewhat like Elaine Paige who is another Broadway icon. Because I like to sing so many styles I’m working on developing my tone in different ways. I’m sure it will be a lifelong process but I would love to develop a relaxed sound somewhat like Karin Bergquist from Over The Rhine, but I believe she may be unmatchable.
