   About Autumn







Autumn
Quantcast



AutumnQuantcast


Autumn's sophomore album, "Velvet Sky" is a love letter to the moments in life that enliven our spirits, stir our dreams, and touch our souls. Marking a significant artistic stride, Autumn's eloquent performance and seasoned songwriting resonates wildly throughout, shining deep into the heart of life. Influenced by a mosaic of sounds, "Velvet Sky" is a medley of gospel-inspired balladry and Folk/Americana, masterfully fused together with Autumn's unique style and sensibility.

Teaming up once again with producers Walt Wilkins and Tim Lorsch (Sugarcane, 2006), "Velvet Sky" combines uncluttered instrumentation with potent, expressive vocals, creating a sparse yet resounding musical experience. Along with seven new originals including "Rain Down", "Trees", and "Higher", Autumn enlists Walt Wilkin's songwriting dexterity, performing his tracks "Velvet Sky", "Lessons Never Learned", "Trains I Missed" and the Wilkin's and Liz Rose collaboration, "We Made the Spirits Move". A galvanizing version of Patty Griffin's "Nobody's Crying" compliments the vulnerable cadence of four other Autumn originals, "Sunny", "Cowgirl Confessions", "Eagles", and "Paint".

Serving as the female sidekick for the 1 rated "JB and Sandy Morning Show" on Mix 94.7 KAMX Austin, Autumn's listening fanbase quickly bloomed throughout Texas with the release of her first album "Sugarcane".

The Oklahoma native first took piano lessons at age 7, her repertoire soon expanding to voice, drums, flute, and guitar. With scholarship offers from across the country, Autumn chose the prestigious music program at the University of Texas in Austin, graduating in 2004 with a degree in Classical Piano. She attests that it was during these formative college years, she discovered and honed a talent and desire for songwriting.

'Velvet Sky' was recorded in Nashville, Tennesee at the Dog Den, engineered and mixed by Bill McDermott. Also recorded in Austin, Texas at Jumping Dog, engineered by Rob Flynt, with a live recording of piano/vocal .." at The Zone in Austin, Texas. In addition to Autumn on vocals and specific piano and organ tracks, she is joined by Sam Baker, Tina Mitchell Wilkins, Ryan Turner, Walt Wilkins, Josh and Christy Grider, Tim Lorsch, and renowned Texas hippietonkers, The Mystiqueros. :: For booking, please email: booking@autumnonline.com ::



Velvet Sky Reviews & Interviews

Maverick Magazine
March 2009 - Issue 80


"This is a great Americana album by a talented singer-songwriter with a gem of a voice. There will never be a winter of discontent if Autumn is always as good as this." 4 out of 5 stars

Read the full review! Issues available at www.maverick-country.com



Sights & Sounds
Review by Scott Baker


"An up-and-coming vocalist from Texas is starting to gain momentum with her strident tunesmith writing and a flare for feel in the Americana/Folk vein."

WRUV 90.1 Burlington, VT
Review by Corey B


"Nice offering - play any."

A Fifty Cent Lighter & A Whiskey Buzz
Nelson at WDVX Americana Radio- Knoxville, TN


"...She is a songwriter from Austin, TX who has covered Patty Griffin on each of her first two albums and works with Fats Kaplan and Danny Flowers on her new album. If you can judge an artist by the company they keep... I'll certainly be keeping an eye on Autumn in the future."

Click HERE to read the review!



Austin Woman (December issue)

"...a good example of the best of original music spawned, nurtured and produced in Austin. Easy on the ears... thoughtful and spiritual. Buy one for yourself and one to give away. Here's to the trains I've missed."



John Shelton Ivany Top 21 by John Shelton Ivany

"Autumn creates incredibly well developed country-inspired singer songwriter folk. With extensive pop sensability and not much holding her back, Autumn makes her presence more than well known on this album: she makes herself seen in the spotlight of the album through and through. Her voice is beautiful and emotional, but not cheesy with twang or drenched in auto-tune. Perfectly produced, and not really too much of anything. An incredibly solid pop album."

Wikio News Your Way

"Autumn is the best female country singer to appear on the scene since Carrie Underwood."

Fire Drills by Natalie Colibri

"Autumn Boukadakis has one of those voices that is instantly appealing."

Click HERE to read the FULL review!



The Austin Chronicle

"Autumn followed up her notable 2006 release, Sugarcane, by remembering the first lesson of a sophomore release: Give the audience plenty of what it came for the first time. Autumn's warm voice wraps "Lessons Never Learned" and "Trains I Missed" in the blanket of folky Americana. The Walt Wilkins-Tim Lorsch produced Velvet Sky posits Autumn alongside Wendy Colonna among the strongest of Austin's new songwriters."



Times Record News- Witchita Falls by Don Chance

"The new set from Austin-based singing, piano-playing songwriter Autumn Boukadakis might not feature the breathy vocals of today’s country radio divas, or the frilly, shallow lyrics, but she has something the radio chicks don’t have: Raw talent and a strong sense of musical artistry. I wish her the absolute best luck with it."

Buddy Magazine (October 2008)

"Autumn's appealing, quietly emotional voice can be as strong and smooth as the velvet sky in the title song, confident and bluesy enough that it could belong to a gospel soloist."



Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange by Bob Gottlieb

"It is one of those rich mosaics of music that seems to develop new levels with every listening. A true gem that has been shaped for our pleasure, enjoy this it is one of the finest to come along in quite awhile."

Click HERE to read the FULL review!



Hyperbolium (Top 50 Reviewer on Amazon.com)

"...as a piano-based composer recording in Nashville there's more weight to her arrangements, and gospel vocal inflections steer this to a soulful realm. That soulfulness is reinforced by lyrics that form an inner-monolog of human isolation, spiritual faith and sought-after redemption."

Click HERE to read the FULL review!



The Daily News (November 11, 2008)

"...Velvet Sky is proof positive that she's well on her way to stardom." 3.5 stars



Texas Music Magazine

"Autumn shows her versatility both as a singer and a songwriter and her ability to reveal true emotions with her music. "

Click HERE to read the FULL review on PAGE 5!



Riveting Riffs Magazine

"Autumn should be nominated in the Best New Artist category, for a Country Music Award. That is our view for what it is worth. If you appreciate, well-crafted songs and you want to be the first person on your block or in your social group to say that you own a CD, by the next big star in, whether you want to call it Country or Americana music then you should already be planning to purchase Velvet Sky."

Here Come's The Flood

Wildy's World

"Velvet Sky is a masterful album that explores the still waters of Autumn's musical vision. And oh those waters run deep. Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5)"

Midwest Record Recap

"Take some confessional 70's singer/songwriter vibe, filter it through 90's angst and leaven it with some contemporary Texas songwriting sisters and you get a voice for contemporary college girls that are more into reality than reality shows..."

Today's Country Magazine

"Her songwriting style on this album is more advanced than most of the artists that I have heard come out of the singer/songwriter genre as of late… …if you like lyrics that are put together in the perfect, relatable ways then you will love this album.”

"PROXIMA"
The Last Sci-Fi Movie

..

"In the vein of Solaris, K-PAX
and The Man Who Fell to Earth,
PROXIMA is a refreshing film full of wonder."
(LONDON SCI-FI FESTIVAL)

"If you’re looking for something different
in science fiction from your traditional lasers
and alien monsters, check out
Carlos Atanes’s PROXIMA.
Remember Proxima is not just a place,
it’s a state of mind… literally
."
(NIC BROWN, B MOVIE MAN)

"PROXIMA is an endearingly off-beat sci-fi film
whose odder moments owe to the visionary
can-do determination of Spanish
underground director Carlos Atanes."
(CARL J. SCHROEDER,
THE MYSTICAL MOVIE GUIDE)

..
