Suzi Katz Three Day Rain
Dreamy with impressionistic lyrics, unaffected vocal style with well articulated acoustic guitar lines.
Cats. Lightbulbs. Blueberries. What do they have in common? They do not travel well. The same can be said about singer-songwriter Suzi Katz.
This is why after recording two well-reviewed CDs in the 1990's, Suzi Katz stopped touring in 1996. But don't let that stop you from enjoying her music.
READ WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT Three Day Rain...
"Suzi Katz is what I'd call an Impressionist songwriter. She's great - sets a mood and takes you to another place. And incidentally, she kills on guitar."
-Patty Larkin
"Her understated voice and depth of songwriting rival, if not surpass, that of [Suzanne] Vega."

Where You Wanna Be
African blues
NOTES
MARKUS JAMES
Markus James is originally from Virginia and the DC area, where his first musical memory, from the age of four, is of a blind blues singer he saw many times playing on a sidewalk. Markus first encountered West African stringed music at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival when he was mesmerized by the Gambian Kora player and singer, Alhaji Bai Konte. After playing in various rock and R&B groups, Markus moved to the SF Bay Area where he pursued his interests in African, Indian, and Gamelan music, while also writing and recording original music in various rock styles. He travelled in West Africa and also Haiti, studying traditional ensemble drumming, before first visiting Mali in 1994, when he made his way to the village of Niafounke to meet Ali Farka Toure. It was then that he first recorded with Wassoulou musician Solo Sidibe, and this became the "where you wanna be" album, released 6 years later. He has produced several programs for PRI's Afropop Worldwide, notably "Ali Farka Toure: Live From Niafounke". Markus has returned to Mali many times, where he has written and recorded blues-influenced music with traditional Malian musicians, notably his 2002 release "nightbird", which has been warmly received by critics in the US and Europe.

Timbuktoubab
World Blues: a unique cross-cultural collaboration recorded with traditional musicians in Timbuktu, Mali. Billboard (critic's choice, World): "every song is a piece of magic" Roots Music Report: "a new form of Roots Rock"
"..haunting music that conjures the very soul of the Sahara... James evokes the spirit of the blues in these tracks, connecting with a vibe that's as ancient as Timbuktu itself. Every song is a piece of magic that will work its own spell".

Balla Tounkara
Yayoroba
A musical masterpiece...an ode to traditional African musical styles infused with conscious thought and exciting arrangements
A phenomenal piece of musical work reflecting the evolving talents of artist Djeli Balla Tounkara and fellow Malian musicians, in collaboration with other US-based musicians from around the world. Once again Balla touches upon events of our time, somehow expressing personal reactions and passions in a way that can be felt in a universal and timeless manner, inescapable by anyone who listens.

Jennie Stearns
Sing Desire
Soft dreamy folk pop with evocative soundscapes and haunting stories offered in an unforgettable and uniquely authentic tone.
Jennie Stearns is a classic American songwriter. By turns heartbreaking and hopeful, her songs are evocative, poignant and haunting. Quintessentially human. Her strong yet intimate vocal style and the vivid imagery portrayed by her lyrics gently draw the listener into her world. Despite the often sombre mood, you'll find yourself strangely at one with her perspective, akin to the intimate atmosphere of a late-night red-wine-confessional with a lifelong, much-loved friend.
While her earlier albums (1998's "Angel with a Broken Wing" and 2000's "Mourning Dove Songs") displayed the influences of the country / old-time music scene in her adopted hometown of Ithaca, it is "Sing Desire", her most recent release, that truly shows her blossoming talent. "Sing Desire" ventures boldly into new musical territory, and it is this album that has garnered acclaim from press and radio as far afield as the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Japan.
