About The Artist:
With a smoky voice and poetic lyricism borne of her rich Gulf Coast heritage, Wendy Colonna crafts songs that groove, waltz, and swagger through love, heartache, transformation, nostalgia and prayer. Colonna’s savory sound is reminiscent of a bevy of important female artists: the brash bluesy thing of Bonny Raitt, the pop genius of Carole King, the raw emotion and huge pipes of Joan Osborne, and the soul shout of Queen Aretha. It’s this kind of talent that brought Colonna acclaim as Austin American Statesman's "Best Singer-Songwriter in Austin 2007," helped her to win multiple songwriting awards and Famecast's Grand Prize in the pop category of their international talent competition.
In her 12 year musical career Wendy has toured extensively throughout the US and Europe, and has released three critically acclaimed studio albums as well as a double live album/DVD. Wendy is also an activist, and a certified yoga instructor and has recently released a yoga DVD & Workbook entitled "Yoga To Go”, which is designed to bring the benefits of yoga to the busy lives of traveling professionals. In the fall of 2009, Wendy will be releasing her much anticipated fourth studio album.

Powers Pub is participating in my slide show project titled “love is love.” It will include “real life” pictures of lesbian women living in New England… (ALL LGBTQ are invited to send pics!) "Love is Love" celebrates those of us who've come up against the odds to “come out”…just to live our lives as FREE... We are fiercely strong; yet, struggle daily to achieve an “equal” status.
As we continue the fight to be considered EQUAL under state laws, I invite you to contribute the photographic representations of your beauty- of YOU and your RIGHT to live and BE FREE.
Share this invite with all your friends. Time is running out- we need your support and your pictures!! Forward pictures to me through MySpace (golau), facebook (lpugliese@mail.uri.edu) or gmail laupugliese@gmail.com
Send as many as you’d like- or just send permission.
Online!
