Hi all,

Unfortunately I've just heard that Kate Walsh's management have organised a support artist for all of her Irish dates, so I will no longer be playing on Wednesday (tomorrow) at Auntie Annie's.

But never fear, people! If you are free tonight you can still catch me opening for Basia Bulat at the Speakeasy Bar (QUBSU, starts 9pm, cost £6.50).

And hopefully I'll get the old gig list filled up with some even more impressive shows for your listening pleasure asap.....  

Cheers,

L x

Track 1 - Lies That I Told

Track 3 - Answer

MySpace

Info

Rebecca's first stage experience was appearing as a special guest at Vicar Street at the age of 13. It was love at first sound. Since then she has been gigging as often as possible in order to maintain and nurture this performance addiction. In 2004, her first EP entitled ' Everything is music' was released independently. This is for sale so for info email rebeccasvoice@gmail.com. She considers herself as much a lyricist as a singer and enjoys the challenge of writing songs in different styles, which makes her difficult to categorise as she moves easily from Rock to Blues to Country to Swing! Sometimes she writes with herself in mind, sometimes the song would be suited to another singer entirely and sometimes they are definitely 'Stage Musical' oriented. She currently works professionally as a busker for Dublin markets, singing feel good cover songs and loves seeing people out enjoying the music.

Singer - Sue Brady

Composer - Dylan Rynhart

Track 1 - Duplex
Track 2 - Orimental

Sue Brady
Sue studied Music at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth where she obtained a BA Hons Music and MA Music (Historical Studies). She studies voice part time at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and has recently participated in masterclasses with Nicholas Clapton, Emma Kirkby and Evelyn Tubb. Classical; Choral scholar at Christchurch Cathedral, Animae acapella vocal trio, Lute songs with Chris Goodwin & Jeni Melia. Jazz; Fuzzy Logic Ensemble 

Dylan Rynhart

I have been writing seriously for about five years, though I have always written music. I write for and run FUZZY LOGIC ENSEMBLE a ten piece jazz orchestra, though in the last few years I have received various other commissions for both Jazz and contemporary classical music and also film and theatre.

In October 2005 I was awarded The Guinness Cork Jazz Festivals “Best young Irish Jazz Artist? award, this was the inaugural year for this award and it was presented by BBC Radio Producer Keith Loxam and Jazz Legends; David Amram and Jon Faddis.

In the Irish Examiner, December 2005 I was voted 26th in a list of the top 50, most influential people in the Irish music scene. The reason that was given for my inclusion in this list was, “Exceptional young talent“.

I can't really describe my music because i find it difficult to step back sometimes, but i have received some reviews, so I’ll include them here

Fuzzy Logic Ensemble
FUZZY LOGIC ENSEMBLE is probably the most ambitious jazz group currently based in Ireland. With 10 of the finest young Jazz and Classical artists from Ireland and England coming together to perform the music of composer Dylan Rynhart.

Since it was formed in 2002, this hard working group that has developed a style of their own, setting them apart from most Jazz bands with the flexibility and sonority of their unique instrumentation, and the orchestral harmony and rhythmic Balkan influence obvious in their music. Comparisons have been made to the music of Thad Jones and Kenny Wheeler.

ABOUT REBECCA


Rebecca Hart is a musician and actor based in New York City. She has been juggling life/work in theatre & music for as long as she can remember. We've temporarily separated the two for you (not an easy task!) below so that you can read about the Hart that interests you the most.

MUSIC BIO: Small Girl * Big Voice * Fast Guitar

Hart received her first guitar as an unsolicited 12th birthday present from her parents. Music was a fairly private affair for the very prolific young Hart until the formation of her first band, the Rebecca Hart Project, at Brown University in Rhode Island. The "folk-jazz-rock" RHP built quite the local buzz in Providence, earning "Best Female Vocal" and "Best Song" nominations from the Providence Phoenix and playing theWBRU Rock Hunt Finals before leaving en masse for Los Angeles. In LA, RH focused solely on music, honing her now-celebrated live act with a steady stream of gigs, and writing more and more under the band's changing influences. By the time Hart decided to leave LA, she had recorded & released three independent EPs: 'Swallow the Moon', 'the Rebecca Hart Project', and 'Sigh'.

Info
Songwriter with Country/Folk influences. I like to enter song contests and have had some positive results - but have yet to actually win!!! 2004 Honor award in The Great American Song Contest. 2005 Finalist in the Clonmel National Song Contest. 2007 Short listed (to 33) in the RTE selection process for Eurovision 2007. This was a major result for me and I was very pleased that my song got this far.

Music from Promonet Ioda Alliance

Artist - Suzie LeBlanc from Canada

Info

A roots album from Baroque soprano Suzie LeBlanc. Acadians are French-speaking Canadians from the Maritime provinces, with a culture quite different than Quebecers and other French-Canadians. Longfellow wrote a famous poem about the deportation of the Acadians from the Maritimes to Louisiana during one of the many 18th-century wars between the British and French. 'Cajun' comes from the Louisiana pronunciation 'Acajun' .

The Acadians who remained in Acadian after the deportations - or returned — have lived next door to Scots and Irish Maritimers (some of whom still speak Gaelic), so there is a strong Celtic flavour to go with the 17th-century French dialect.

Among the musicians in the period instrument band are Chris Norman — one of the stars of the original Dorian Recordings - and baroque violinist/Celtic fiddler David Greenberg, a former Tafelmusik soloist who originated Marquis Records' hit 'Bach meets Cape Breton' about 10 years ago.
