About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

So, I moved to Toronto from Rochester NY on 2000 to go to U of T. Everything was good until that Christmas when I got my first guitar. I started dropping by the open mics, writing my own tunes...you can see where this is going. I published my second book of poetry ages ago, and my first cd Last Day to Fall almost two years ago now. After a new computer and a new guitar (pronounced gee-tar) and a hair-tearing three months locked in the basement, I finally finished my new album, Abode of Crows, this past March. I took a couple months off to soak up some city-polluted sunshine, but now I'm already back to Cubase working on a couple new tunes. Keep an eye out for them on my myspace page, I'll put them out as soon as I'm done freezing up the computer.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/18/2006
Band Website: coffeehouse.ca
Band Members: just little 'ol nicole
Influences: I'm not afraid to admit that I love Counting Crows, especially their live stuff, and cover them whenever I can get away with it. My CD collection is very ecclectic and heavy on the 60's folk rock, but I love the acoustic recordings of Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Fleetwood Mac. I'm also a huge fan of indie artists, and my favorite local artists in my CD player right now are the Sunparlour Players, Rich Lowenberg and Nikki Talley. I just bought myself a steel slide, so Arthur Renwick has been blaring through my house all week-that dude is fuckin good. I love pretty much all music, as long as there is a bit of poetry, people who are actually playing thier own instruments, and I don't need to check a top 40's chart to decide whether it's good or not.
Sounds Like: Leonard Cohen went to bed with Evenesence
Type of Label: Indie
