Vicki Chew
A 30 year singer songwriter and performer, Vicki is a recent New Folk Finalist at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival. This is Vicki's second CD. The first was recorded with "Under the Tree" nearly a decade ago. And, although the musical styles are different, the songs are as well conceived and performed as ever.
About The CD:
Regional fans of Cleveland singer-songwriter Vicki Chew have undoubtedly heard Vicki play some of the tunes on The Bells of St. Rose, but they've never heard them like this. The jazz-oriented Jackie Warren Trio provides a fresh counterpoint to the hard-won honesty of the lyrics and Vicki's clear, bell-like vocals. The result is a little bit Joni Mitchell, a little bit Nora Jones. Mostly, though, the music is at that perpetually new place where sophistication and simplicity come together.
