“Edith Piaff meets Joni Mitchell for the first time." - Paul Wagner, Music Career Consultant, West Coast Songwriters Association “A butterfly emerging with the voice and experience of a grown-up woman. I love the stories represented and the lilting melodies that go with them." ~Brad Kava, San Jose Mercury News “Best Releases From Our Own Back Yard

Lori Ludy
Lori Ludy is a bay area multi-instrumentalist-singer/songwriter. Growing up, she performed music from Bonnie Raitt to Rickie Lee Jones. Later, her band performed several years of 60's rock and roll with mo-town hits, which eventually earned her a spot opening for Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Heavily influenced by blues mamas of the 1920's and 30's, Lori writes and sings in her own original style.
Jane Lui
New to the bay area, Jane Lui is a singer/songwriter and classically trained pianist from San Diego. Described as quirky, melodic, and nostalgic, her music reflects a cross-border genre of folk, art song, and jazz from Bach to Bjork. With her strong, soulful vocals, Janes music is mainly anti-mainstream, yet flirts with pop and dissonance.
The prevalence of the piano on each of Lui's songs serves as an anchor for her vocal acrobatics and braids of melody, rhythm n' girly blues. Lui's ability as a songwriter is evident but, more so, Jane Lui's angelic but agile vocal narration is the essence of Tear girl - an arrangement of beautifully wrought harmonic utterances. ~ San Diego Music Magazine
