All Genres > Pop > 90's Pop > KARLA CRUZ: Too Long Away

This CD was my first foray into independent music.

Too Long Away garnered:

1. A Billboard Songwriting Award (Too Long Away)
2. Three NAMA (Northwest Area Musician Association) Award Nominations: Best New Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Album, Best Rock Vocal
3. An exhibition spot in the Wing Luke Museum Exhibit: A Bridge Home; Music in the Lives of Asian-Pacific Islanders.
4. Too Long Away is being invited to appear on a compilation cd marketed to radio and labels.


The Story of Too Long Away
This album was 90% recorded in my basement on an 8-track. It's true! Lots of bouncing of tracks.
Special thanks go to co-producer Tom Frodsham, David Lange of David Lange Studios, and Bob Boeck, Martin Audio.

The GUEST MUSICIANS on Too Long Away are: Dan Mohler- bass, Chris Nickels - guitar and vocals, and Patrick McCabe - slide guitar on Too Long Away.

Who the Hell am I?
I'm just a girl from Algona, raised with dirt between my toes. I'm a lifelong Northwesterner; yup, there's mold growing in my armpits.

My Influences: Too many! But I do love the Beatles.

My second CD, titled In Search of a Rut is due out in 2005.
I hope you like what you hear. This is just the beginning.
I love making music. It keeps me sane.
