The poetic tales of Paige Rasmussen and Nat Kendall join forces with a folk rock, hip hop, neo soul, beat machined, steel stringed orchestra to expose the spectrum of heartache to healing. For salty eyed lovers and the broken heartist alike, Songbird Sing’s beat crushed doctrine plays out a struggling education in love's ever-ebbing tides with richly balanced harmonies, emceeing that staggers from poppy to ghostly, sateen vocal hooks and stripped down but clever production. Songbird Sing presents a truth in work with sounds drawn of drum machines, acoustic guitars, piano, wood floors, 0’s and 1’s, hand claps and bus lines. This whimsical musical bares it all through the eyes of the abstract emcee, Nat Kendall, and the luscious vocals of Vegas songstress, Paige Rasmussen.
Both seasoned veterans of the stage, Paige Rasmussen and Nat Kendall have honed their skills from the north to the south, slinging hip hop, soul and rock across the U.S. in numerous formations. Nat Kendall sharpened up his emcee skills while constantly touring with the eight-man army known as Eightrack Mind. Putting out two successful albums and touring religiously for the last six years, the live hip hop band has shared the stage with acts as diverse as the Wailers to the Wu-Tang. Paige Rasmussen has held it down with her soul band, BlueJack, and torn up everything from performing at the 2001 Winter Olympics to Sturgis. She is constantly dropping cameos and can now be found, lavishly adorned with boa constrictors and costumes, singing for a Cuban-American musical in Vegas.
Songbird Sing is the second collaboration in the nat kendall presents series, which is a concept to progressively weave disparate artistic forces with the beats and rhymes of Nat Kendall. Cy Ducharme, a folk rock singer/songwriter from the Minneapolis scene, and Nat Kendall were brought together under the independent label rock shock it! records, to co-produce Lovers and Ghosts. The success of that first collaboration launched the series into full swing. Lovers and Ghosts traced a man’s journey through social, political and physical boundaries, brought him to the edge and finally captured the disconnection from our modern world. Lovers and Ghosts charted on CMJ, was featured in the December 2006 Rolling Stone and continues to be a top seller.
After nearly two years of cross-continent production, Songbird Sing finally flies on August 5th and the duo has touring slated for late summer, 2008 to follow up the release. Numerous tracks can soon be heard on the soundtrack to “Where You From.” For more information, please visit SongbirdSing.com.
