Angela Correa from Correatown is has also been a part of various musical endeavors:
Les Shelleys The Low Standards A bit of background:
Correatown was a place that someone called her once. It was a funny name and a sad name all at once but it made sense at the time. You could ask for directions, you could stumble upon it, you could look and never find it. It doesn't really matter. You might find a house with a porch, a wall painted green, and an old sun bleached wooden swing chair. You might sit there awhile and then you might hear the stories and decide to sing along.
There is a small mountain range called the Buttes where she's from, with quiet sloping hills just above the pastures and orchards. Folks aren't generally allowed to explore those pathways, though nobody even knows why not. Once under cover of starlight, she went for a midnight walk with some friends through those forbidden hills, and in one moment felt more attached to where she was from- to the place that made her- than she ever had been to anything else in her life. You see those hills have stories- stories that make your eyes ache from looking, your heart swoon from feeling, your chest tighten from breaking, and your face light from laughing. And so those are the stories that become song- brought out with wood, strings, air, a little inflection, some sadness but mostly memory.
Seriously, here's the story:
Since she was a kid Angela Correa of Correatown has been singing, songwriting, and playing music in one form or another. She traveled around the world a bit and always took her guitar. She lived places as diverse as in Copenhagen, Paris, Moscow, Santiago, Oaxaca, San Diego and finally Los Angeles. She went to grad school for awhile but left to pursue music. After touring and playing solo for a very long time, focusing mainly on folk and americana style music Angela decided it was time to have a little more fun and formed her current band CORREATOWN, a musical collaboration influenced by folk, pop and classic rock. She found some really amazing musicians to play in her band with her. Sometimes she plays solo and sometimes she plays with the full band. Woah.
She spent the last year or two in the studio with her friends recording "Spark. Burn. fade." ~an album that is available digitally around the world (on Itunes) and available by mail order on 180 gram 12' clear vinyl with limited edition artwork by Alexandra Weisendfeld. The tracklist includes includes "All The World (I Tell Myself) a song which was featured on Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, and Middle Of Nowhere.
In 2008, you may have heard her voice in trailers or a movie theater. Angela Correa's voice was featured as the singing voice of Jenna Fischer's character Darlene in the Sony Pictures film "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" on the song "Let's Duet," "Darling," and "Beautiful Ride."
