Ben Krieger (Brooklyn, NY)
Chiemi (Boston)
** Jason Fickel has been performing his synthesis of Mississippi blues
and urban folk for the past 15 years. His new CD, Kerosene Cologne,
crackles with wry vocals, bottleneck guitars, and gumbo trombones.
“Fickel blows my socks off. Imagine blues filtered through the eyes and
ears of a thoroughly modern songwriter… And what a picker!” - Kit
Malone, Fractured Folk Showcase
**Boston's Laura Brereton's new disk of original songs, Leap of Faith,
is a well-crafted treasure of country-rock, blues, and acoustic gems,
all with stellar vocals and great lyrics. "Mix a little Bonnie Raitt
with a touch of Shawn Colvin, and you get Laura Brereton." Josh
McAuliffe- Scranton (PA) Times
See: http://laurabrereton.com/
**Laura Vecchione's forthcoming CD, Deeper Waters, was recorded in
Nashville and is already gaining attention in the Boston-area--she was
finalist in the Colgate Country Showdown! Laura's performances cast a
wide emotional net with her powerful voice, haunting songs, honesty, and
a great sense of humor. See: http://www.LauraVecchione.com
**Ben Krieger is a dynamite singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, New York --
funny, cool, and rockin' all at the same time. "There is a fine line
between genius and madness and you can argue that Ben Krieger straddles
it with the aplomb of an Olympic gymnast." - Jim Testa See

**Chiemi performs regularly in the Boston area and she hosts the
Somerville News's monthly Music/Poetry Series. Her CD, Living on Two
Coasts, puts together the warmth of Suzanne Vega, the drama of Annie
Lennox, and the influences of her native Hawaii. See
