  • Hello Christine!

    Holy smokes...another artist from Tampa Bay...I think we're the only two on the forum from our neck of the woods. I believe I've caught your act, live, at Katiki on St. Pete Beach? If not, I know I've seen your show somewhere similar. You got it girl! I've seen you work a crowd first hand. Your every bit as sultry as you are piss n' vinegar!

    I think you have a unique voice and seasoned approach to your music...the vocals are unusual yet comfortable in "Learning Tree," + I really dig the lyrics. You can rip up that axe too - woohoo...not always easy for artists to accomplish on acoustic instruments.

    It seems the norm for the majority of our peer review artists to submit a video of them playing acoustic (strumming along) instruments, while singing in their bedroom. I don't judge them for that but I do like that you've brought us into your live performance mode via the internet.

    You appear comfortable singing and playing, which is really nice to hear and see. I don't imagine everyone will like this tune, but who can please all? I've seen your eclectic audience...they’re as unusual as you are...nothing wrong with that - you've found a niche and you're working it!!!

    Curious, have you gleaned label interest...I know you've been at it a while. If not, run down the Americana circuit. Also, if you haven't already, check out sites like (www.sonicbids.com) for business ops in the southeast. Seriously, for your style, there are more grassroots gigs down here than one can shake a stick at. There's no reason why you couldn't work large festivals on a weekly basis.

    Ya' got my vote!

    Namaste,

    Brian
