- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The poetic tales of Paige Rasmussen and Nat Kendall join forces with a folk
rock, hip hop, neo soul, beat machined, steel stringed orchestra to expose
the spectrum of heartache to healing. For salty eyed lovers and the broken
heartist alike, Songbird SingÆs beat crushed doctrine plays out a struggling
education in love's ever-ebbing tides with richly balanced harmonies,
emceeing that staggers from poppy to ghostly, sateen vocal hooks and stripped
down but clever production. Songbird Sing presents a truth in work with
sounds drawn of drum machines, acoustic guitars, piano, wood floors, 0Æs and
1Æs, hand claps and bus lines. This whimsical musical bares it all through
the eyes of the abstract emcee, Nat Kendall, and the luscious vocals of Vegas
songstress, Paige Rasmussen.
Both seasoned veterans of the stage, Paige Rasmussen and Nat Kendall have
honed their skills from the north to the south, slinging hip hop, soul and
rock across the U.S. in numerous formations. Nat Kendall sharpened up his
emcee skills while constantly touring with the eight-man army known as
Eightrack Mind. Putting out two successful albums and touring religiously
for the last six years, the live hip hop band has shared the stage with acts
as diverse as the Wailers to the Wu-Tang. Paige Rasmussen has held it down
with her soul band, BlueJack, and torn up everything from performing at the
2001 Winter Olympics to Sturgis. She is constantly dropping cameos and can
now be found, lavishly adorned with boa constrictors and costumes, singing
for a Cuban-American musical in Vegas.
Songbird Sing is the second collaboration in the nat kendall presents series,
which is a concept to progressively weave disparate artistic forces with the
beats and rhymes of Nat Kendall. Cy Ducharme, a folk rock singer/songwriter
from the Minneapolis scene, and Nat Kendall were brought together under the
independent label rock shock it! records, to co-produce Lovers and Ghosts.
The success of that first collaboration launched the series into full swing.
Lovers and Ghosts traced a manÆs journey through social, political and
physical boundaries, brought him to the edge and finally captured the
disconnection from our modern world. Lovers and Ghosts charted on CMJ, was
featured in the December 2006 Rolling Stone and continues to be a top seller.
After nearly two years of cross-continent production, the Songbird Sing album
has finally flown the nest and the duo has touring slated for late summer,
2008 to follow up the release.
