Music FridayLive!

Irene Diaz opens in Segment 1.  She is a twenty-six-year-old, LA –based singer- songwriter trained in classical piano and steeped in blues and jazz.  Inspired by artists such as Nina Simone, Ella , Fiona Apple,  with tones reminiscent of Eva Cassidy Irene just released her debut EP, I Love You Madly.   We will play cuts from it, including the stunning single, “Crazy Love” which will haunt your mind and hypnotize your ears in a riptide of emotion.     In segment 2,  singer-songwriter Karen Dezelle combines honest narratives with soft, soothing vocals, creating vulnerability with wide appeal.  Karen has lived all over the world and it shows in her deft blending of beats and melodies. Inspired by artists such as Jewel and Joni Mitchell, Karen', emotionally-complex lyrics are offset by a minimalist song structure and  innocent vocals in a moving sound, both calming and exciting.  Music Friday is the weekly music and film program that interviews bands and musicians and film directors who make films about bands and musicians.  And you choose the people we interview.  Just go to musicfriday.nationbuilder.com and fill out the You Choose form and we will get the band you want.
