music from IodaPromonetAlliance Artist - Amelia Curran Track 1 - Scattered Small Buy the CD from SandBarMusic Bio Amelia Curran could make an honest run at the title for most resilient singer- songwriter in Atlantic Canada. “War Brides? is her fourth since 2000, quite a feat for the Independent Musician who also adds acting and writing to her talented resume.
Curran draws upon influences such as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. Upon seeing her live, it is impossible not to draw the very same comparison. Usually live, especially live…although, oddly the similarity among these influences remains strongest within her lyrics. Once described as “a performer who can smoke, drink a beer, and sing at the same time…harmoniously?, Curran has that dirty raspy “I’ve been there and felt it? conviction to her songs. There is no putting it on, she is real and she’s here to sing about it. The audience is not left to wonder who these songs are about. It’s her, but it is also everyone. The difference, however, is the crisp and melodic tone that leaves the song humming through your head as much as the lyrics echo through your conscience.
