Marcia Kester Her voice tells the whole story: the heat, the honey and a bit of Delta
hardscrabble. A savory vocal texture that falls somewhere between Patsy
Cline and Bonnie Raitt and on towards the Shania Twain zone. Her
arrangements add a modern flavor to classic songs. There's a taste of rock
in the country tunes and a dash of country in the rock. For more information, visit

Chaim & The
Essentials Three summers ago, a group of musicians assembled in a basement on
Camano Island to record a group of original songs by Chaim, a guitarist
for the South End String Band. Since then, some of the musicians were
borrowed from other bands, some have moved on or passed on, and so Chaim &
the Eclectics became Chaim & the Essentials, all committed to the music.
The repertoire now includes over 30 songs, all original, with influences
ranging from folk to jazz to world. |
