from Toronto, Ontario! www.myspace.com/harmonytrowbridge
Kinda sounds like Maria Muldaur meets Joni Mitchell.

genre specific middle-of-the-road to a place more
original, more personal and ultimately more fresh.
Brilliant precision and lightness feels good to hear.
"Her
music is a witch doctor's poultice for the heart in
need of repair." |
