Buy Autumn's debut album Drunk, Again here:
I am a singer/songwriter in the vein of Joni Mitchell. Ideally, that is not how I would describe myself (though I just did), but is how others tirelessly and without exception describe me. I would much rather be likened to Tom Waits, but like Popeye, I'yam what I'yam, so if you don't dig it, you can kiss my spinach-loving fist. ..* .. My first album, Drunk, Again, (some excerpts above, other tracks are new demos) was recorded in 12 hours at a little studio outside of Hughesville, Pennsylvania (Richard Rupert's Green Valley Recording) in the summer of 2005. ..* .. S Q U O N K O P E R A : I am also a graduate of Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts with a BFA in Musical Theater. And as of November 2007, I am very lucky to be the singer in the crazy-fun avant garde theater troupe Squonk Opera. They are a top friend below and you should check them out here on myspace or at their website: http://www.squonkopera.org. They've performed all over the world, including a strange and adventure-filled stint on Broadway which is explored and explained in the documentary film, Squonkumentary. I am beside myself with glee to be among them. I've included our performance dates in my Upcoming Shows. We're currently at work on the new show which will premier in the Fall of 2008 and is likely, in my opinion, to change the world as we know it. ..* .. As for my own music, I am preparing to go back into the studio to record a second full-length album. I can't predict how long this new album will take, since I want to actually produce it this time with other musicians and arrangements and good stuff like that. Until then, I hope you're enjoying what you're hearing.
Um, of course I wanna!! Sigh - I long for the day when I can NOT actively relate to that song. I am great, beyond that. Lot of tea and trees! Miss your pretty face :)
Thanks for the info - I'll see you at one or maybe both. And the price is right! Also, Nik/Central Plains will be playing on 8/22 as well. Good times ahead.
So I'm obsessed with the Sweeney Todd soundtrack...been walking about making grand, sweeping Broadway gestures while singing. And now I have a request: would you please learn that Green Finch song from said musical for me? Please please? I think your voice would do it so so prettily.
I'm doing well Autumn. How are you? Life's been just a tad on the hectic side, but that's good right? The busier we are the easier it is to maintain sanity!! Mwahaha. ; ) Good to hear from you.
Well, I wouldn't go that far. You're certainly not ungrateful and Joni isn't a God ,but you could be with the right publicists. Mmmmm. I'm doing great. Been playing a lot and my Bro is in from NYC right now to do a concert with the whole family. FUN!! Congrats on the gig with Squonk. You Def. deserve it. Looking forward to hearing you again soon, Alex
Hey lady! I really hope I can come check out the Squonk (did i spell that right) Opera show. Would be so great to see you on the big stage! Blessings! -joy
Hey Autumn, you know I was thinking that maybe being compared to Joni Mitchell is a good thing because if for nothing else Joni doesn't like Joni anymore! And the world needs a new Joni! ;)
