Exclusive Preorder for Myth of Solid Ground Album
Starting today, you can preorder a copy of our new album Myth of Solid Ground! In doing so, you will receive an autographed copy of our new album when it is released in September. You also will have the option of purchasing a necklace which Laith will make for you. The proceeds for the necklace will be going to Vanderbuilt Cancer Center, which has helped Laith so much in his fight against B-cell lymphoma cancer over the last three years.
Here is our paypal link in order to pre-order our new album Myth of Solid: http://jodiemanross.com

With her acoustic-based, Americana and blues-influenced folk rock, Jodie Manross has become one of East Tennessees top singer-songwriters. Known as the little woman with the big voice, Jodie possesses a powerful voice much larger than her size and surprises audiences with her soulful delivery of songs.

Performing in concert halls, coffeehouses, and colleges throughout the United States, Jodie has opened for many talented, diverse musicians such as BB King, John Mayer, Blind Boys of Alabama, Keb Mo, Rusted Root, Sugarland, Jennifer Nettles, Scott Miller, Jonatha Brooke, Mindy Smith, Meshell Ndegeocello, Garrison Starr, Peter Case, and Leon Russell. Jodie also had the honor of being a 2005 Bonnaroo Music Festival artist. Jodie recently had music featured on the second season of the hit Fox TV show, "So You Think You Can Dance, " which was in the top ten TV shows of 2006's summer.

Jodie is a contributing artist on the just released cd Beyond the Blues: A Tribute To Peter Case, which includes legends such as Victoria Williams, Joe Ely, Dave Alvin, Chuck Prophet (with Dan Vickrey & Jim Bogios of Counting Crows), Lester Chambers, James McMurtry, Tom Russell, Kim Richey, Maura O'Connell and John Prine. This up and coming roots singer-songwriter breaks the traditional singer-songwriter mold and is refreshingly impossible to categorize. This year, Los Angeles' Entertainment Weekly exclaimed, Soon you'll be calling her "the" Jodie Manross. With original music that embodies both grace and power, Jodie Manross is not to be missed.

Here is a clip of Jodie's song "Still" on Fox's So You Think You Can Dance!

Here is a youtube clip of a California high school color guard's route to "Still!!" They won first place in their competition. Thank you Vista Murrieta High School Winter Guard for using our song!
Snoop Dog's Murder Was the Case performed by folk singer Jodie Manross at Googie's Lounge (The Living Room) on Jan. 30, 2008 with Laith Keilany. This was their first show since Laith was diagnosed with stage 3 B-cell lymphoma cancer two years ago.

Jodie Manross performing original blues song "Wasted" at Googie's Lounge (The Living Room) on Jan. 30, 2008 with Laith Keilany.

Jodie Manross performing original slide guitar song "Lost Cause" at Googie's Lounge (The Living Room) on Jan. 30, 2008 with Laith Keilany.

Here is a new song I wrote after seeing "The Devil Rides on Horseback," a documentary about the genocide happening in Darfur. Thanks to Dave for helping me film this video.

I also just uploaded to 24 Hours for Darfur. You can watch my submission here: http://www.24hoursfordarfur.org
Help speak out about genocide by making your own video at 24 Hours for Darfur.

Hello from Alaska.
Beautiful voice full of soul.
Couldn't help but notice the guitar is upside-down -- might as well keep on playin' it that-a-way; seems to be workin' ;).

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

After pre-release tours in Colorado and Georgia, Dehlia Low’s new full-length cd “Tellico” will be presented for the first time in Asheville this Thursday at the Grey Eagle ($8/10, thegreyeagle.com)! Several cuts off the new disk can be heard on at www.myspace.com/dehlialow and live takes of a few of the songs will be performed Thursday afternoon on WNCW 88.7FM. Thursday night’s show will also be a chance for those of you who didn’t make it to Merlefest to hear Lyons, Colorado’s own Spring Creek Bluegrass Band, who are also preparing to release a new disk next month. Dehlia Low will also be joined by “Tellico” producer Jon Stickley of the Shannon Whitworth band. We hope to see you out and thanks for supporting live, original, and local music. CD Release Poster!
