"83rd Street" - Aya Peard - Live
WMG/Cordless Recordings
During my contract as a recording artist with Warner Brothers/Cordless
Recordings, I was invited to perform a showcase for the Rhino Records at
Warner Brothers in a venue on site, of my choice. I chose the
upstairs lounge area, in order to create an acoustic and intimate
environment to perform 7 songs. As most of the released production of
these songs were electronic, I opted to break the songs down into
arrangements for acoustic piano, cello, upright acoustic bass and
backing vocals -- no drums, no loops, no effects...it was a great
success, leading to being included on two Rhino Records releases:
"Sisters in Song" for Hallmark, which included KD Lang, Tori Amos, Jane
Siberry, The Corrs, Natalie Merchant, and other WB female
singer/songwriters; and "Have You Heard" for Target records, featured
alongside Regina Spektor and Skye (of Zero Seven), among many others. Enjoy!
