Priscilla Sanders - Ride a Wave with Me

Priscilla's enrapturing vocal style and inspiring voice is a perfect guide through a beautifully woven musical tapestry of heartfelt feelings and stories familiar to all of us. Her songs are influenced by life in Nashville to big cities and languid beach towns. Masterfully crafted by seasoned musicians, this CD will lift your spirits and leave you wanting more. 'Ride a Wave with Me,' is co-produced with veteran musicians who are also supporting her live tour ensemble with plans for performances across the U.S. and Europe in the spring of 2005. Singer/Songwriter Priscilla Sanders is a multi-instrumentalist classically trained in piano since the age of 7. Her style is reminiscent of Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, and Eva Cassidy. She uses offbeat, melodic compositions and stories that entice the listener into musical journeys inspired by life's passions and experiences. Having grown up around the rich music influences of Nashville, TN, she continued to expose herself to many eclectic music scenes, including folk, pop, rock, jazz, new age, and world music from the east coast to the west coast, including Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and now Maui. Having also traveled to Europe and Asia, Priscilla absorbed the musical and cultural influences of those locales as well. She has performed in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay area, Maui, and is currently performing with singer/songwriter, guitarist Steven Line' in clubs, radio showcases, and festivals in Nashville and the southeast. FEEDBACK AND REVIEWS Wow, it sounds wonderful - smart and warm and complex. Delicious. Congratulations! I love the arrangements. --Lis Lewis, Vocal Coach, Los Angeles, CA (Gwen Stefani, Brittany Spears, Bobby McFerrin) I completely enjoyed your CD as I cooked and ate Sunday morning breakfast. Pretty, honest, musically diverse, and lyrical. No doubt I will be listening to it many times. I am proud of you. --Hilarie Burke, award-winning performance artist and grant recipient Gosh, your CD is great! I hope that you can get some good promotions in the States in time for Valentine's Day--it would be a good gift! I have to say, though, some of those songs are 'sticky'... they go round and round and demand to be sung over and over and...you get the drift. I think you've found your 'thing' here, Priscilla! Congratulations. I'm going to bring the CD into work and share it around. I'll email my extended family! --Kit, Nashville, TN What a blast to get your brand new CD, I'm flattered that you sent it to me, and I'm really enjoying listening to it while looking at your website. Congratulations, I'm so happy for you. I wish you great success with your music! --Holly Tashian, country recording artist (Holly and Barry) CD REVIEW of 'RIDE A WAVE WITH ME' By Uma Silbey Nov. 17, 2004 Ride A Wave With Me, skillfully composed and performed by Priscilla Sanders is a musical tribute to love, friendship and personal freedom. Priscilla's throaty soprano voice and delicate keyboards blend in perfect balance with the lush sound and rhythmic background of her accompanying band. Good composition with orchestration and performances by Steven Line' support Priscilla's lovely singing throughout. All in all, this is music that you will enjoy, both as soulful background and as 'upfront' sing-along, yet contemplative, light rock that grows on you with every playing.
