The magical melodies and touchingly clever lyrics of Molly Nilsson (who also goes by the name formerly known as White Bread!), grow on you as you find yourself listening to them over and over again. With her one-woman-show, this escaped Swede brings her nostalgic pop, on a journey through life and death, with love and trouble, to a No Mans Land, on the border between reality and dream.
Rumor has it her birth father was a guitar player from Texas; She was mouthing melodies before words. Truth is Cat Martino is a voice emerging that draws you in by its natural strength and intimacy. Cat calls her original style "Some kind of Soul". It's a little bit indie-folk-rock-experimental, born from influences diverse as Laura Nyro, The Beatles, and Bjork… Cat played her guitar, piano, and looped her voice and instruments to create layers that dream a sound all her own.
Martino has toured internationally, in support of Rufus Wainwright, RIDE frontman Mark Gardener, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and more. Cat has enjoyed singing with and/or organizing small choirs for local friends Sharon Van Etten, Sufjan Stevens, Joseph Arthur, & Swedish artists Anna Ternheim, Nina Persson (The Cardigans), A Camp, and Marit Bergman. Other musical conspirators have been found in multi-instrumentalist/Producer Jack Petruzzelli (Rufus Wainwright, Patti Smith), Ben Kalb (Regina Spektor), Nathan Larson (Angela McKluskey, Shudder to Think.), Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley), and Joe & Robin Bennet (of Goldrush, Dusty and the Dreaming Spires Truckfest).
Amalie Brunn released her debut album in 2006 on Kick Music with 11
songs written by herself and her father Michael Christie. Amalie Bruun
is also a pianist and writes songs with other composers, including Moh
Denebi from Stockholm . In 2008 she created the title song for Reality
show Paradise Hotel . The song is called If You Give It Up and has
also made music video in Mexico , where the show takes place. Amalie
Bruun went to New York later in 2008 and won the New York songwriters
circle international award. She is now permanently residing in New
York. In 2010 she published The EP 'Branches' which was recorded at
Pirate Studios in New York in partnership with Watt White. In August
2010 played Amalie Bruun in a commercial for Chanel perfume Bleu De
Chanel, directed by Martin Scorsese , along with Gaspard Ulliel and
Ingrid Schram. She was also a member of The Lonely Island , "Jack
Sparrow", where you[specify] saw her as Forrest Gumps wife Jenny with
Michael Bolton. In spring 2012 she released the single "Siren",
written and produced in collaboration with Mark Saunders on A:Larm
Music.
