Angela Reed

_ _Angela was humming before she could talk, writing lyrics and songs in Elementary School, and daydreaming about the fulfilling and exciting life of a musician. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Angela writes and performs engaging and soulful acoustic rock music. She has the songwriting prowess of Joni Mitchell, the independence of style of Ani Difranco, the raw, exposed fire of Melissa Etheridge, and the passion and vocal freedom of Jeff Buckley. Her love of music has taken her from Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA) to graduating from Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle, WA), from growing up singing solos in the choir to performing her own music across the country, from a nervous laugh to owning the stage, from the daydream to reality. She makes her way on stage with grace, confidence, and class. Whether playing solo or with her beloved band Angela makes you believe in love and life as much as she does. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Angela's music fits comfortably nestled in between such rock and pop veterans as Sheryl Crow and Marc Cohn, and younger, energetic acts like Brandi Carlile and Guster. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ STATS _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ARTIST: Angela Reed _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ BORN: March 18, Portland, OR _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ GREW UP: Seattle area _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SCHOOL: Cornish College of the Arts (Seattle, WA): graduate with a Bachelor of Music-2004/Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA): 3 sem. _ STUDIED WITH: Kelly Harland (Etta James/Beach Boys/Ray Charles), Catherine Russell (Jackson Brown/David Bowie), James Knapp (jazz composer/James Knapp Orchestra), Jovino Santos Neto (Grammy nominated Brazilian composer/pianist), Julian Priester (Herbie Hancock/Sun Ra) to name a few. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FAVORITES _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _COLOR: blue _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FOOD: Moms home cooking.
