KIRSTEN PROFFIT'S MY DEVOTION RELEASES MAY 16

“Positively brilliant… something very special is going on here.
My Devotion is a total delight from start to finish”


– William Kates, Music & More

Singer-songwriter Kirsten Proffit’s hook-filled debut Lucky Girl was heard far and wide as it garnered national Triple-A & satellite radio airplay, landed tracks on numerous hit TV shows such as Friday Night Lights, The Osbournes and Smallville, and was featured in movie theater promotions and advertisements nationwide. The Orange County (L.A.) Music Awards “Female Vocalist of the Year” now returns with her sophomore release My Devotion, which is also chock full of melodic, memorable originals but this time with Americana-style flavorings for a richer, more textured sound. My Devotion will hook you again, over and over. This is a very talented musician quickly coming into her own as a singer, a songwriter, an artist.

SHIRLEY GRIMES CATALOG NOW AVAILABLE

Broken Arrow has released Irish singer/songwriter Shirley Grimes' 5 album catalog digitally throughout the world. Grimes began as a folk stylist creating wonderfully melancholic and atmospheric albums, then moved into a more traditional pop approach while still keeping her Irish-folk touches. At each step she gained more fans and acclaim, and recently has opened on the road for such artists as Van Morrison and Bonnie Raitt.

FIRST U.S. SOLO RELEASE FROM MAT CALLAHAN

Mat Callahan, former leader of world beat pioneers the Looters, releases his debut (U.S.) solo release A Wild Bouquet. The CD release coincides with the release of his book The Trouble with Music (AK Press).

Callahan leans heavily on his tremendous and deeply ranged voice, unleashing a torrent of pop hooks. Formidable and brash

- Editor's Pick/Smother.net

A Wild Bouquet features Callahan as singer-songwriter, surrounded by incredible musicians Brain (Tom Waits, Guns & Roses) on drums, Joe Gore (PJ Harvey) on guitar and bassist Les Claypool (Primus). Pete Scaturro produced most of the album.

His compositions on this recording incorporate his worldly musical savoir-faire with ambience controlling poetics; it's pop balladry in its purest sense. His vocals are confident with minimalist soundscapes existing beneath. Don't expect the acerbic slash of a tongue warmed in music-bullshit-hell; expect soft ruminations from a man obviously still in love with his muse. These are indeed beautiful, well-executed songs crafted by an honest musical hero.


- Abel Folgar, Transform Online
