Influences
People, nature...the nature of people? It's hard for me to tell who influences my music. I do know that the following have been enjoyed, savored, ingested and appreciated by me for varying amounts of time: David Bromberg, Little Feat, Joni Mitchell, Talking Heads, Jane Siberry, Susan Werner, Martha Schlamme, Stephen Stills, Red Clay Ramblers, Elvis Costello, David Amram, Bonnie Raitt, Phoebe Snow, Dan Fogelberg, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lou Reed, Jacques Brel, David Bowie, Chris Whitley, Doc Watson, Chris Smithers, The Weavers, Peter Gabriel, Al Green and all of the Long Island Musicians I've had the pleasure to meet and play with in the past few years.
Sounds Like
From what I hear, I'm unique...I think in a good way. I'm aware of hearing Stephen Stills and David Bromberg in my songwriting, which is company I'll keep...at least in the studio!
I've been fortunate to share a stage with incredible songwriters and fine musicians. My days in Greenwich village and at festivals around the North East passed from time to time with Dave Van Ronk, Arlo Guthrie, Cliff Eberhardt, David Massengill, David Amram, Suzanne Vega, Mark Dann, Christine Lavin....
After time off for birthing babies, mine and others, the slow but somewhat steady work on my "long awaited" CD has begun. In the meanwhile, I'm getting out. Catch me if you can, I'd be glad to meet you.
Hey check out the new video for Rachael Sage's song "Vertigo"! The banner takes you to her youtube page, leave a comment and let us know what you think! xoxo Jill @ MPress
Hey Claudia! Look what's shakin' in Connecticut! This Monday, August 25, 10 pm, a ferry crossing away, I'll be doing poetry with Yvon Cormier at a very cool Beat spot in New Haven called Cafe Nine. I've been hitting this place for years now for a quick one en route to Boston, and I can tell you it's got the feel.
The gig is hosted by Edward Leonard, it's called Beatnik 2000 and you can check it out at www. cafenine. com.
No cover. Come on down!
