SUZANNA
CHOFFEL Tour Availability Continuous AWARDS Winner: International Songwriting Contest 2003 Honorable Mention: John Lennon Songwriting Contest QUOTES "I was hooked and drawn in from the first few bars of Choffel's urban and soulful sound. Her music styles are varied from quiet and introspective to politically motivated stories written to a jazz beat with vocal and rhythm arrangements reminiscent of a female version of Sting." "Seeing Choffel perform is an inspirational experience. You can see and feel the joy that rushes through her entire body and ends up as a smile on her face from playing and sharing her life and music through song." Iriszone Music promoter "Suzanna Choffel deserves a listen because she's among the most rare of artists, a performing songwriter who is based in Austin and was actually born and raised there. But that novelty aside, Choffel is a singer and songwriter who brings to bear a potent mixture of formal music education and natural talent. In a world in which it's hard to dodge the herd of performing songwriters, Choffel stands out with a clever and imaginative mixture of smart words and music that brings together pop, rock, jazz and more."

WENDY
COLONNA Tour Availablity Continuous QUOTES "This girl can sing! She can get just as angry and throw out as much power vocally as a man, without losing a BIT of her femininity… I've spent years nearly ignoring female singers. Thanks to Wendy for opening that door" Austinlive.com A songwriter blending poetically relevant lyrics, hook-laden funk-inspired melodies and a raw, magnetic stage presence she proves herself a true triple threat: songs as catchy as bubble gum pop and lyrics as inspired as classic folk, all delivered by a woman who combines the sensuality of eye-candy with the can-do strength of grrrl rock. "This
fiery beauty has incredible stage presence and a voice that ranges from
gravel to nightingale." - Goleta Valley Voice "Her
subtle, melting vocals bend and stretch with the album's melodic modern
arrangements. In lyrics or in melodies, Colonna appears equally versatile."
- Offbeat Magazine BIO Louisiana diva Wendy Colonna is "not just a singer-songwriter, she's a force of nature…" (Michael Corcoran - Austin-American Statesman) – “a fiery beauty (who) has incredible stage presence and a voice that ranges from gravel to nightingale.” (Goleta Valley Voice - CA) Her upcoming National release " Right Where I Belong" (in stores May 2, 2006) is already raising eyebrows in industry circles across the country. It's a soulful journey, sticky with gulf-coast humidity and harmonies, but crisp and contemporary, a timeless collection of songs that make you shake it one minute and grab your hanky the next. “In lyrics or in melodies, Colonna appears equally versatile.” (Offbeat Magazine – LA) Wendy has been voted "Best New Artist, 2005" by Jody Denburg, program director at KGSR (Austin, TX) and was featured on WFUV (NYC) as a "must hear" on their New Years Day play list. Even preceding a national radio launch, Wendy is gaining support and airplay across the Southwest and Gulf Region, as well as markets as diverse as Florida, NYC and even the Virgin Islands! The extraordinary attention is all the more notable because Wendy is hard to categorize – rock but with soulful underpinnings, folk but with infectious melodies, a singer/songwriter but backed by a who's who of Austin's finest musicians and session players. As hard to pin down as Sunday morning bliss and as energizing as a Saturday night buzz – don’t try to label it, just indulge in it. |
