Kenny Edwards, Angel. - August 19, 2010
I am so sad to report Kenny's passing into the next world. His music and loving nature is in the DNA of the Southern California of the last several decades. We will miss him terribly.

Our 2008 CD, Where the Fireworks Are, has gotten airplay on almost 50 stations in North America, and all over "EuroAmericana" radio.This is our fourth CD, recorded with Tom Lackner and Joe Woodard of Headless Household and a pack of damn fine musicians, including Karen Hammack, Steve Nelson, Greg Leisz, Kenny Edwards, Kenny Wollesen, Jim Christie, and Dave Palmer.
"...the album radiates in poignancy, yet shimmers in sublime beauty. From the heart-wrenching title track, which serves up an aching does of harsh reality, to the cascading piano that drives the plaintive “Something Pretty,” Where the Fireworks Are is a collection of songs spanning the emotional spectrum. It provides an evocative musical chariot for Christensen to weave her vocal magic."--Brett Leigh Dicks, VCReporter

"On her earlier solo albums, love is driving (1997) and Soul Driver (2001), "Christensen justifies her wandering idiomatic interests-veering from piano-oriented pop of the Carly Simon ilk to L.A. C&W to soul and back--with a lucid artistry and a love of the beautifully-sung note or nicely-sculpted lyric. The title track's horn-fueled feisty R&B/pop energy yields to the emotional, metaphor-fortified sincerity of songs like "Traveling Companion" (in a sinuous 7/8) and "Stone Cupid" (also the name of her label and web-site). Guests include ambient pedal steel hero Greg (Bill Frisell, Joni Mitchell) Liesz and drummer Jim (Dwight Yoakum) Christie. All in all, a happy, luminous occasion"

Be a part of making my new album happen! - June 28, 2010
This year, I plan to record a more stripped-down acoustic album of music with Kenny Edwards playing and producing. I've got lots of new songs I'm excited to sing and share with you.
In order to make this a reality, I need to manifest around $9000. We're already about 30% of the way there! A big thank you to all who've contributed so far.
I know these are tough times, but would you consider donating to my new album project? Any amount will help, but anything at $20 and above will get you a free signed copy when it's done. In fact, it'll be signed by BOTH Kenny and me, and he's "rock royalty". So here's a link to take you to Paypal and help us make this new music happen. I'll do right by ya. (And any premiums you signed up for at the kickstarter fundraiser will be honored here since it didn't fund. )
