Sounds LikePRESS

Dave Tate – The Solitude of Here (2006)

"This is by far the most grabbing male folk album to come through our doors in months. It's hard not to make comparisons to Paul Simon's more sensitive folk writing with a similar mix of warmth, open space, breathy vocals, innocence and a dewy, green clarity of intention. His songs have a way of stealing your breath away and removing you momentarily from the passing of time, suspending you in full-body harmonies. While he has a knack for open-hearted, reflective songs, there is the slightest echo of acoustic jam band writing, giving this album a well-balanced emotional scope from track one to eleven. Bravo."

- CDBaby, February 2006

"...a CD of such exquisite quality that you are immediately enthralled by it. A CD which is always close to your sound system so you can play it daily..."

"This masterpiece is worthy of a place in the singer/songwriter Hall of Fame."

"Breathtakingly beautiful..." & "...A true listening experience...”

- Folk Forum's Paul Van de Wiel, May 2006

"...Marvelous voice! At once versitile, dynamic and angel-like." "He possesses the special kind of talent you only see come along once a decennium. If you're lucky."

- Eric van Domburg Scipio of the Netherland's Haven Magazine, April 2006

Victoria Lagerström – Heaven Sent (2008)

"A sumptuous collision of jazz, soul and pop...At the center of each song is Lagerström's remarkable voice. She has the soul of Gladys Knight, tonal qualities of Billie Holiday and soaring qualities of Barbara Streisand...Her voice is so inviting that you want to wrap yourself in it like a warm blanket."

- The Spectrum, Utah.

”Lagerström’s voice has true Soul in it and I don’t mean the swinging kind but the kind of Soul that gets under your skin and makes you itch."

- Folk Forum, Netherlands

"At once soulful and folky, Lagerström manages to sound angel like and down to earth at the same time, making the timeless Heaven Sent a more than enjoyable record."

- Heaven Magazine, Netherlands.

“Lagerstrom is blessed with vocals that are like a collage of Beth Gibbons of Portishead, Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies and Gladys Knight all molded into one...A beautiful record that deserves an audience.”

- The Independent, Utah.

“Heaven Sent, the new album from Victoria Lagerström, is fascinatingly beautiful...Victoria’s soft soul-jazz voice is like a young to midaged Joni Mitchell."

- Meadowmusic, Sweden

   About Dave and Victoria
Photobucket

The poetically crafted lyricism of Dave Tate beautifully compliments the soulful soaring tones of Victoria Lagerström in this contemporary folk duo.

The combination of Tate’s folk influences and Lagerström’s background in Jazz and Soul singing creates a unique sound. Aptly described as Paul Simon meets Eva Cassidy, Tate and Lagerström lead audiences into an intimate space in live performances.

A native of Southern Utah, the classically trained Tate first collaborated with Swedish singer/songwriter Lagerström in January 2007 when the two began writing and recording their first duo CD The Same Heart in Salt Lake City, UT. At that time Lagerström, who had originally intended to return to Sweden, and Tate were married in Zion National Park.

After developing a growing fan base in Salt Lake City the duo expanded by moving to Austin, TX in 2007 as well as touring in Sweden, and The Netherlands on a sold out tour. In 2008 Tate and Lagerström returned to the inspiration of Southern Utah to write and record new material.

In 2008 Tate Released The Final Hour, an intimate follow up to The Solitude of Here while Lagerström released her long awaited debut album Heaven Sent. The duo currently lives in Springdale, Utah. They perform regionally and internationally.

"As good as Dave Tate's and Victoria Lagerstrom's solo work sounds, they are at their best when they combine forces for The Same Heart. Here we find their passion for each other expressed in musical form, their smooth voices perfectly compatible as they harmonize over luxuriant textures of saxophone, strings and Tate's acoustic guitar.

"...We hear Tate's range, from a deep tenor to high falsetto, on Break Away and Lagerstrom's voice soars in songs like Children of Zion, an album standout."

"As in their solo music, Dave and Victoria usually rise above the cliches in their songwriting, even in love songs, which are often rife with cliches. The album's title track tells the story of their romance as Tate sings of love coming from across the ocean. They also bring stylistic elements from their solo music with Lagerstrom adding elements of jazz and soul to Tate's contemporary folk pop sound."

- The Spectrum, Utah
