If you would like a copy for review or play, you know who to ask.
A truly original talent about to make her mark on the world stage, she enchants and delights. A unique blend of jazz, pop and folk make Canada's Lori Cullen a brave new voice for all seasons. She has consistently received high praise for her writing and performances. With a NNNN review from NOW Magazine for her first solo CD The Garden Path, and inclusion on several prominent Best Of 2003 lists for her jazz CD So Much, Lori is making sonic waves. Uneven Hill represents her most accomplished work to date and garnered her a second 4 NNNN review. While an acapella version of the traditional piece In The Gloaming showcases her stunning vocals, the focus of the new album is nine highly original songs, showcasing her magical gifts with lyrics and instrumentation. Daring song
writing and gently soaring vocals meet in a world so very far away from here, yet always close to home. Enjoy...
