SARAH BRINDELL

Keyboardist and singer/songwriter Sarah Brindell has been cooed over from east coast (the “newly minted diva of pop, funk and jazz” – Boston Globe) to west (“simply mesmerizing” – Time Out San Francisco). Dreaming Shoes, her second studio release following Piece Of Mind and Live At The Paradise, which evolves out of soul, folk, pop and Brazilian, as well as Caribbean rhythms, is an inspired journey from beginning to one, well, you just won’t want to end.

CAMERON GREENLEE

Stepping out from behind his day job as keyboardist for the seminal Jamaican ska group, The Skatalites, Cameron Greenlee’s debut release in which he takes the role of bandleader, Cameron and the Trenton Street Collaborative, fuses wicked roots reggae with delightful jazz alongside funky guitar riffs, beautiful piano, Rastafarian percussive beats, and triumphant horns.

SHEA ROSE (Cambridge, MA show only)

Boston native Shea Rose has been described as the female Lenny Kravitz meets Lauryn Hill. Shea was recently nominated for a 2010 New England Urban Music Award in the R&B Female category after opening the event in 2009. Shea also opened the Berklee ‘Women in Rock’ concert at the Berkelee Peformance Center last fall and was featured on Berklee's Heavy Rotation Records' Dorm Sessions 6 CD. She recently collaborated with Cindy Blackman on a six-song EP.

SARAH BRINDELL’S SOULFUL ‘DREAMING SHOES’ (NAYA RECORDS) IS ECLECTIC AND ADVENTUROUS

Don’t let the title fool you. Sarah Brindell’s sophomore studio album, Dreaming Shoes, is not an REM-inducing record. Dreaming Shoes about going places you have never been. Intimate and adventurous, the album is constantly growing, evolving out of soul, folk, pop and jazz and infused with critical elements of Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms. Packed with individual talent—Mauricio Zottarelli (Hiromi, Esperanza Spaulding), Yaure Muniz, (Buena Vista Social Club), Nate Edgar and Mike Keenan (John Brown’s Body) as well as Aaron Bellamy and Amy Bowls (Sam Kininger Band)—Dreaming Shoes maintains its cohesiveness throughout, refusing to lean in any one direction or on any one musician. Brindell, whose previous efforts have been cooed over from east coast (the “newly minted diva of funk, pop and jazz” – Boston Globe) to west (“simply mesmerizing” – Time Out San Francisco), says, “I approached Dreaming Shoes differently because I wanted the artists to play to the song, not for their own chops”. Dreaming Shoes is available March 1 everywhere online and the CD is available March 25.

TWO CRUCIAL ROOTS ALBUMS LAUNCH NAYA RECORDS

Naya Records, an upstart indie label founded in Boston, MA and run by visionary label president and accomplished drummer/engineer/producer Nathan Sabanayagam, is proud to announce the release of two very special albums. The first, entitled "Grass Yard Productions Volume One," is the first installment of a series of compilations to be released over the next few years by Naya Records featuring the Grassyard Productions All-Stars (aka GYP All-Stars). Kiddus-I's "Green Fa Life", a combined roots and soul music effort from an icon of the rockers reggae period is also available.

All of the songs on Grass Yard Productions Volume One were recorded on the front porch of legendary guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith, known for his role as lead guitarist for his role in Bob Marley's band as well as Peter Tosh and Innter Circle, to name a very short few. The album is dedicated to the late great Jamaican Trumpeter Johnny "Dizzy" Moore, who is also featured on one of the songs. Other veteran artists who contributed to the compilation include Ken Boothe, Winston "BoPee" Bowen, as well as historic musical figures Kiddus I and Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, who both starred in the cult classic film Rockers.

The most significant aspect of this release is the collaboration of several generations of musicians from around the globe, all gathering to play in the relaxed and intimate environment known as the Grassyard (at Earl "Chinna" Smith's Jamaican residence). The end result is an album that is chalk full of instant classics. These songs capture the true essence that is musical creation in Jamaica and some of the highlights include "Fire," sung by Don I, "Shot Poor Johnny," sung by Ken Bob, and the Ken Boothe track, " Richard Cory."

Purchase GYP Vol 1 on

The second Naya Records release is the new album from legendary singer Kiddus I, "Green Fa Life." Also recorded at Chinna's Yard, the album features guest musicians, "Horsemouth" and "Chinna," as well as label president Nathan Sabanayagam on drums, and was co-mixed by Will Holland, known for his work with the Pixies and Dead Can Dance, at Chillhouse Studios in Boston, MA. The album features thirteen new tracks, all of which breathe fresh air into a tried and true classic rock-steady sound, anchored by the unforgettable baritone that is the voice of Kiddus I. Some of the track highlights inlcude the title track "Green Fa Life," and thepolitically fueled "War."
