About Me

Christmas Album available through ITunes
Baby it's Cold Out Side.... Review
It's that time of year again, and this modern collection of traditional Christmas songs can make a great soundtrack for your holiday season. Choosing a thematically warm mix of blues and jazz as the basis for these classics proves to be a sophisticated approach, making this a great candidate for background music at your holiday cocktail party. Thanks to some great playing, the songs are loose and free, allowing the rich vocals plenty of space to explore the scope of the framework. While these songs are all instantly recognizable, the superior musicianship adds a uniquely creative aspect to these favorites that can't be underestimated. Focusing mostly on jazzy piano and guitar, the players exemplify a reserved precision that keeps the arrangements true to the original songs but also new and interesting. Certainly a fun way to start the holidays. REVIEW FROM "CD BABY"

Sounds Like: As a band.... I am not too sure if we sound like any particular band.....
As a singer... I "think" I sound like me! BUT, I have been told, that I sound like Sarah McLaughlin, Tracey Chapman, Wynonna Judd, and the newest one... Anne Murray!
This is a huge cross section of singers... these were all said as a compliment... so.... have a listen and let me know what you think.
