These are some of my all time favorite musicians, most of whom I've had the pleasure of playing and touring with!
What can I say about Vicki. Let's just get the brilliant songwriting out of the way first. Add to that the fact that she plays the guitar like an octopus, her hands move so fast you just want to scream, and then she goes and tops it off with the purest vocals that dig deep while gliding alongside her accompanimant like the true Gemini and sweet soul she is! She's been making waves here in the states having won the 2009 Guitar Superstar grand prize and is wowing audiences in Europe as well. I'm super blessed to have her talents and friendship on my latest album. Check her out for sure.
Marni Rice is the quintessential Chanteuse. "She sings songs of Vodka and Velvet" Accompanying herself with accordion, and sometimes with stand-up bass, her sound is smoky, sultry, raw, hard and everything inbetween. The amazing thing about Marni is that she can nail you in English, French and German!! She is a walking after hours club. The speakeasy in an old vintage movie, and a great theatrical presence. I'm completely in awe of her talent. Go see her live!
Jim and I grew up together in NYC. He's my family and a soul mate for sure. PLease visit this extraordinary artists website.
As a composer of music for theatre, dance, film and the concert stage, Jim’s specialty is weaving together the classical and contemporary musical styles of the Western world with the indigenous sounds of ancient and native cultures. His works include the opera “Buffalo Nation”, the musical “Songs of Forgotten Relatives”, the ballet “Luna”, and the film soundtrack for “Lords of the Deep”. His orchestral compositions have been performed by the Great Falls and Diablo Symphonies, and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra. His most recent audio release was recorded at world-famous Skywalker Sound, near his home in San Francisco. The double CD is entitled ”The Psalms of RA”, and sets ancient Egyptian, Sumerian and Hebrew texts to his original music, conveying a universal musical language of light.

Susan Souza while sweet as sugar, packs a punch with her solid folk/rock vocals and brutally self-reflective songwriting which really gets you thinkin. THink Melissa Etheridge meets John Mellencamp and they go and play at Springsteens house!
My good friend and recent tour mate, Pantera Saint Montaigne's music pulses thru your bloodstream long after you've left the club. She is pure music...she doesn't need any hoopla...she just sings it and sends it straight to your heart.
This woman is pure solid Pop at its best, not to mention absolutely Glamorous!!! She's got pipes that never quit and has a repetoire that needs it's own library. A singers/singer and a writer of anthems for living. If you need to get the message, you'll get it from Theresa.
