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

The news here is that I will be putting together a PodCast soon. It will be called Collected Sounds Radio. I have contacted a few artists and am just waiting for approval to play their songs. I don't have enough for a whole show yet, and I want to do this right and fairly, so I wait. Hopefully it will be up shortly. As soon as it is, I will announce it!

Be sure to check out our Forums (Message Boards) Collected Sounds Community

Also, come join Collected Sounds On My Space.

Thanks for visiting...enjoy November!

House Concerts

Upcoming Shows

Jodi Shaw- will be gracing our living room in December 10, 2005. I've been a fan of Jodi's since her CD, "The Pie-Love Sky" was sent to me two years ago. I still listen to it religiously. It's one of the best CDs I've gotten in the last 5 years. I'm more than excited to hear these songs live. Plus, her new CD, "Snow on Saturn", will be available at the show!! I've just received it, and it's great! Go here to hear some clips.
For more info check out: [Jodi's show page]

We are already starting to book our 2006 shows! So far the only one confirmed is:

Julie Loyd with special guest, Brianna Lane- [Julie and Brianna's show page]
Julie performed here back in July of 2005. She put on a really fun show, she's a very dynamic performer. Use that link to also go to the page for the last show if you didn't attend and want to know more about that one.

We have no other dates confirmed, but the artists in the line up are: Rachael Sage, Anne Heaton, Sam Shaber, Pamela Means, and Edie Carey!! This is going to be a great season!! Some old favorites and some new artists I'm sure you will love.

New/Updated Spotlights

Our artist spotlight of the month is Jodi Shaw

Jodi's distinctive voice is characterized by a certain "delicate toughness" one finds in such artists as Suzanne Vega or Shawn Colvin. Her songs have been called "sophisticated nursery rhymes" and "intellectual lullabies."
It just so happens that Jodi is also performing our next house concert!
