NEWS - Summer 2009, NYC:

Greta is a pianist, singer & songwriter originally from Sydney, Australia, whose shows range from intimate, solo piano/vocal performances to mini-orchestral affairs involving string quartets, tuba and electric guitars. She's now been living in NYC, making music for the past 10 years and is officially a 'hot commodity on the NY scene' (according to WNYC's 'Soundcheck'). She has opened for Martha Wainwright, Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Joan As Policewoman and Madeleine Peyroux, has a "spacious voice and a welcome weakness for lushly orchestrated pop" (The New Yorker) and was recently cited as one of NYC's Top 20 Orchestral Pop artists (Deli Magazine).

In her native land, she is a multi-platinum-selling hit songwriter, having co-penned the 'classic rock' hit, "Blow Up the Pokies" (performed by The Whitlams), which was recently listed as one of the countries Top 20 Best Songs of All Time (The Australian). Greta's most recent album, "Edible Restaurant", features members of Slavic Soul Party! and the song 'Veselka' (NPR Song of the Day) about the much-beloved Ukrainian diner on 9th/2nd. She is now developing a musical theater piece based on songs from that album. She is also working on a new, orchestral pop project, "The Universal Thump", with drummer/producer/multi-instrumentalist, Adam D Gold (Gutbucket, Build, Moore & Sons) - an expansive project inspired by whales and love.

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.

"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny

Lynch Album Cover Medium jpg

"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman


"Great stuff." -Buzz Magazine

YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

www.workforsurveybling.com

anyways, so, I will see you next Tuesday. Have a great day!

great show last night

adam is some drummer! and having a sax as tall as the stage is wide is always a nice touch

sorry there weren't so many folks

but everyone who was there, me included, was absolutely loving it - especially that VERY drunk kiwi guy ("she's AWEsome!!!")

so hope that makes up for it

you dragged most folks in from the bar - always an achievement at the 12 bar!

hope the rest of europe is equally enthusiastic - if more densely populated...

and that you find somewhere to stay in amsterdam!
