Lacy James is a singer/songwriter, dancer and choreographer. She coproduced her debut CD Lovefeast with Jim Gallagher at the Gamble-Huff and Kajem/Victory studios in Philadelphia, where the basic tracks were enhanced by many wonderful guest musicians. In "Song of Songs," Old Testament love poetry drifts through a heavenly arrangement of Arabic and Indian drums, flute and keyboards. "Silverback," based on the life of gorilla researcher Dian Fossey, blends thundering drums and African percussion with ethereal sounds from a variety of sources: guitars, bass, sythesizers and the Rwandan gorillas themselves. Lacy's dance company, Mereminne Dancers, has performed extensively in New York City and her choreography has also been presented in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Germany. Most recently, Lacy has been composing electronic soundscores for some of her choreography.
