Dave Doobinin, Charlie Faye, Michael Leonhart, Jamie Leonhart October 17, 2007

Charlie Faye's songwriting is densely lyrical in the American folk tradition. She has a band that rocks, an attitude that tips its hat to country, and a heart that sings the blues.

Jamie Leonhart's soul-inflected sound melds pop sensibility with the groove of jazz and soul. Jamie and her band offer a new style--call it "chamber/pop/soul." This sound--the product of an ever-shifting platform of strings, upright bass, percussion, electric guitar, piano, trumpet and other instruments that support her soulful voice--has grabbed the attention of a growing audience.
