| ADRIENNE JONES BIO
A 19-year veteran of
fingerstyle and rhythm guitar and a recent finalist in four national songwriting
competitions, Adrienne has been called "a setter of songs, as a jeweler who
sets a rare stone." With three solo albums to her credit, she has been expanding
an enthusiastic New England fan base to include the eastern seaboard and states west as
far as Colorado, opening hearts by sharing hers.
As well as being a
professional actress and soloist, Adrienne was a founding member of the Connecticut-based
trio, Madwoman in the Attic (with Margo Hennebach and Diane Chodkowski), who won
Northeastern audiences with their combination of stunning harmonies, outrageous whimsy,
and dramatic performance style, winning Best Acoustic Band in the Hartford Advocate's
Readers' Poll two years running. She and Hennebach, with the accompaniment of Mark
Saunders, continue the musical romp with Mad Agnes, presenting
almost-acoustic originals and haunting arrangements of Celtic traditionals.
Adrienne's first
album, All My Days and Nights, was called "folk poetry" by Dirty
Linen Magazine; reviewers praised Talking River's lyrical prowess, fine
production and inspiring messages. "Voice in the Mirror," writes
Rick Foster of the Sun Chronicle, "is a landmark of artistic and technical
achievement by an extraordinarily gifted independent artist."
And her voice? Says Joe del Priore of the Hudson Current: "Sound silk,
pure and simple." |
