Her song "Mary" sounds closest of any of her songs to a Sarah Slean song, "Temple" is possibly the most gorgeous "voice and piano only" ballad that I've heard since Sarah McLachlan's "Angel", and "It's a Game", "3 O'Clock in the Morning", and "Lay down your light" are just plain beautiful and heart wrenching ballads. "Never" just rocks. Three songs are available for download at kristinhoffmann.com. If you like it, go buy the album at once and support great independent music. If you live in NYC and are looking for some entertainment on a Wednsday night, go check out Kristin performing at Arlene's Grocery. She has two more shows left in an April residency (Wed. 4/23 at 8pm, and Wed 4/30 at 8pm). see ya, Rob (who is also still digging Frou Frou very much, as well as Kathleen Edwards and new CDs from the White Stripes, Blur, and The Postal Service, as well as the few Stars songs that i've heard and the new Muggs (featuring Greg Dulli of Afghan Whigs & Twilight Singers fame) collaboration called "Fat City" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Tittel DreamsAwake Music NetRadio, CD and Concert Reviews, Booking, Promotion, Publicity, Photography, and more www.dreamsawake.com Click here to Listen to Jericho Two, indie-rock, folk, and 90's alternative internet radio www.dreamsawake.com/jericho2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 23:58:35 -0400 From: Dan_Stark Subject: Re: NSC: New artist recommendation At 12:46 PM 4/17/2003, Rob Tittel wrote: >Everyone who loves Sarah and Emm Gryner should go check out Kristin Hoffmann >(www.kristinhoffmann.com) Rob, she sounds great!
