Songstress Brenda Freed's clear, strong voice brings to life her original music with jazzy/bluesy grooves. Tony Campise, Austin, Texas instrumentalist said, "Brenda sings in the traditions of jazz and blues yet moves beyond tradition to create a wonderful and provacative blend of her own flavorings. She has wonderful qualities of expression in her songs." Brenda's act also has hints of other genres and influences, from Gospel to Cabaret to Cajun. In every song, though, one thing is consistent: Brenda Freed's exquisite, soulful, full-bodied, pristine vocal. The Texas-based artist, whose "other career" is music therapy, has been performing music all her life. But it wasn't until 1991, however, after a cross-country bicycle trip led to a serendipitous stop at the Kerrville Folk Festival, that Brenda knew her future was in recording and performing her own material. Though she embraces music of all types, she has a decidedly classic, sophisticated style. Based in the Texas Hill Country since that time, Brenda has traded in her bicycle touring for touring with her music in England and Ireland, as well as the Midwest, Southwest, and West Coast of the United States. Try this CD. You'll like it. Sara Hickman, Austin, Texas singer/songwriter, said, it's "great for a cozy afternoon or a romantic evening. Brenda Freed currently has 3 CD's to her credit with a fourth one on the way in 2004 with her new group, Texas Hot Flash - a cappella and then some. In the annual Austin Chronicle Poll Texas Hot Flash placed 6th in 2003 and 4th in 2004 in the Best Performing Band, None of the Above category.
