Camille Bloom

Bio:

..

           

Rock + Folk + Funk + Pop = a damn good show! Gibson endorsed International Act, Camille Bloom has played the most premier venues in 6 different countries worldwide. Combining percussive guitar and a voice that can "purr and wail" (Victory Review), "Camille's music can make even the rain dance." (Mike Galaxy Indie Music)

Touring full time for the past four and a half years, Camille just completed her 3rd full length album, which was recorded live in front of a sold out audience at Columbia City Theater. She worked with Paul Kimble (producer of such acts as Radiohead and David Gray) to release her sophomore album “Say Goodbye to Pretty” which says as much about her social awareness as it does about her music. “This is wonderful; full of life; wild, sweet and rich in its sound textures; graced with songwriting that fills the heart and surprises the mind” (Bill Fisher, Victory Review).

Known for her incredibly dynamic voice and edgy acoustic rock, Camille has played the most premiere venues on the East and West Coasts - ranging from New York City's Bitter End, Boston's Club Passim, Seattle's Triple Door, Tractor, and Crocodile, Los Angeles' The Mint and over 150 other rooms spanning the nation. She has had the chance to share the stage with such acts as SUGARCULT, Brandi Carlile, Mark Olson (The Jayhawks) and Mike McCready (Pearl Jam)

Though modest about her achievements, in the last five years, she has been featured in Performing Songwriter Magazine, created the soundtrack for an HBO sponsored documentary "Not Straight Forward", was picked to be on a compilation CD with Michelle Malone and Amy Ray (Indigo Girls), completed over 25 national / international tours and has been added to several major and college radio stations throughout the nation: including Seattle's 103.7 The Mountain and KEXP.

Bottom line, Camille Bloom is a powerhouse of a performer: said to be “like Ani Difranco dipped in Maple Syrup”. (Spokane Inlander).

Camille can play with the powerful punch of a 4 piece band - or play acoustic shows. Bandmates include: Michael Cotta on Percussion, Jim Watkins on the Bass, Paul Fischer on Lead Guitar, Katie Kreter ..o, Gaelen Billingsley on Back-up vocals
