Aoede-POP ROCK-News From the Muse-
JANUARY 2009

"“Push and Pull  is a remarkable vulnerable-yet-tough album full of great songs that stand on their own integrity…just great songwriting, a unique and memorable voice, and tight musicianship” 
Wildy's World

Happy New Year! Here's wishing you much love, light, laughter and other l words for 2009. Musically, things are starting out well! Just as a side note-my heartfelt thanks to all the healers in my life-you know who you are-As you know, we've got a song on American Airlines (Ch 5) this month and we've got songs on several compilation cds for film festivals and film makers (Wild and Scenic, Sundance). We've also started some new recordings and with your help:

(1)
Aoede won TOP Artist of 2008 on WomensRadio

THANK YOU so much for your vote-as a result, we won! I was just Interviewed Jan 14 (click to go to the interview)-also click on top artist above to check out our page!

(2) Aoede's on Pandora!
You can listen to our tunes and Pandora will suggest similar sounding artists-they do  this by analyzing attributes of a song like "an emotional lead female vocal performance," or "heartbreaking lyrics" and finding other songs that share attributes-we get to discover very cool artists this way! www.pandora.com (search for aoede and aeede radio (they misspelled)

(3)
We're headed to Nashville in April!
To go play an industry showcase-stay tuned in future newsletters for more details about a southern spring tour along the way-we may even get to play in drummer John's old hood and haunts. 

SHOWS (see side bar)
Wednesday's WomenROCK (Jan 21)! This month, join Aoede, Marianne and special guest Nancy Cassidy-Always unplugged. Always original...like an intimate living room concert (right Suzie? See above pic from New Years house concert) 


Stories Behind Push and Pull: the seeds for Nothing's Gonna Stop Me
These stories are just for YOU...Here's the little story behind Nothing's Gonna Stop Me (which you can find on my myspace :
http://myspace.com/aoedemuse
 and amazon, itunes-the lyrics are on http://aoedemuse.com/track4.html). This tune was a late addition to the album written in 2007 and inspired by an actual event during the recording-a piece of unexplainable hate mail I received from someone who was recording us-the project went on and writing that song was one of the ways for me to express that I wouldn't let anyone interfere with my dream-and I hoped others would be inspired by the message in their own lives.
 
 

What are you listening to? 
Any great artists you want to shout out about? Write me and I'll include your list with mine in future newsletters-this month I rediscovered Erin McCarley-very Ingrid Michaelson-esqe  with some Sara Bareilles thrown in...

Huge thanks as always to YOU for reading and supporting and please write and update me! We couldn't do this without you!
