Details:
The powerful live presence and deeply emotional voice of singer and songwriter Laura Vecchione (pronounced “Veck-ee-oh-nee”) are captivating audiences nationwide. Vecchione''s catchy lyrics and beautiful melodies exude pop appeal. What sets her apart as an artist, though, is rare depth and maturity. Listening to her songs makes us connect instantly with the heartbreak of humanity, leap at her message of hope, and clap along with her celebration of resilience. A soulful convergence of gospel, blues, country, and rock, Vecchione’s music evokes wide rivers of the South that seem far beyond her origins in New York and Boston.
Girl in the Band is Vecchione''s triumphant sequel to her impressive debut album, Deeper Waters. Set for release in the fall of 2008 on Vecchione''s indie imprint Selkie Records, Girl in the Band was recorded in Nashville and Boston with an all-star cast of seasoned session players including George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt) on electric guitar. Mixed primarily by multi-Grammy-Award winner Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco, The Dixie Chicks) the album shines with Vecchione''s unique balance of pop-appeal and gravitas, and is already generating buzz and acclaim including:
• Television Placement: "Fly Home Flag Boy" and “Magnolia” played on Season Two of TNT''s hit show, Saving Grace, starring Academy Award winner, Holly Hunter. Laura’s single, “Jane” from Deeper Waters also aired on the same show.
• Charitable Collaboration with Sweet Home New Orleans: Laura continues to make efforts to help rebuild New Orleans after her visit post-Katrina. At live shows she has continued to direct people to sign up for https://www.tradebit.com. On Girl in the Band, Laura covers an a cappella piece, the Mardi Gras Indian sacred song, "Indian Red," and penned her own song for New Orleans called "Fly Home Flag Boy." Proceeds from digital downloads of these songs will be donated to Sweet Home New Orleans, (https://www.tradebit.com) working to preserve the artistic and social fabric of New Orleans musical and historic culture.
• MLK, Jr Dream-On Compilation: "How We Choose to Hold" was selected out of over 400 submissions to be included in the Dream On project, an independent musical compilation set for release Nov. 2008. The project will include a charitable website honoring the continued work and vision of Dr. MLK, Jr. (https://www.tradebit.com https://www.tradebit.com).
