Here's what is new on Collected Sounds for the month of March, 2005

This isn't really Collected Sounds news as much as it is news about one of our favorite artists gone big time (*sigh* we knew her when...).
As many of you know, Regina Spektor has been signed by Warner Brothers/Sire Reocrds and they've released her CD today (Tuesday March 1, 2005). She sent an email saying how she was walking past Tower records and saw her big ol' face up in lights. Must have been pretty darn exciting!

Watch the video for the song "Us". It's pretty cool!
Buy the CD from Tower Records (this one has a DVD with it)

Have you all been listening to The Current? Even if you're not in Minneapolis you can hear it online by clicking [Here] and then on the "Listen Here" section. It's so great!

I actually contacted them to see if they'd be interested in doing a Collected Sounds specialty show. So if you're interested in hearing that, feel free to tell them so. Give them a jingle (651) 989-4893 or shoot them an email.

Thanks for visiting...enjoy March!

House Concerts

OK I'm pretty excited about these shows…The house concert news is the same from last month, but we have some new members so I thought it beared repeating. These are filling up so please RSVP if you plan on coming.

Gregory Douglass - Collected Sounds is proud to present as its first MALE headliner, the fabulous Gregory Douglass (you know he has to be good to headline here, right?) Douglass passionate amalgamation of contemporary folk, pop, and rock have been compared to Jeff Buckely, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, and Bjork, while he has been equally influenced by his love for underground female singer/songwriters.
For more info please see [Gregory's show page]

Beth Amsel is also scheduled in June but we haven't set a definite date yet. I'll keep you posted.

Artists

This this months Spotlighted Artist Is...
Allison Crowe -

Combining classical virtuosity with the improvisational qualities of jazz and the gale strength of gospel and rock at its most visceral, she's been called "a force of nature" and "fearless" by critics who've found her unmistakable voice impossible to pigeonhole. As one journalist said of Crowe's original sound: "Make your own comparisons, then forget them." [Read More]
