Corinne West & the Posse play Northampton, Friday, May 16th

[lbt]

Hailing from California’s Sierra Mountains, Corinne West’s dynamism onstage is undeniable. Spinning tales with a voice part velvet & part grit, the emotional power, raw soulfulness & understated beauty of Corinne’s music has her on the brink of stardom. Her expressive vocals and songs pierce to the core and soothe the soul. At turns subtle and sophisticated, unbridled and passionate, her voice captures and conveys both the fragility & strength of the human spirit & translates the mysteries of the heart into something tangible. And if that’s not magic, what is? Her sound has been referred to as “utterly spellbinding,” “radiant” & “extraordinarily beautiful” by reviewers worldwide. Her style combines the high energy of bluegrass, the old-time vibe of traditional Americana and the backbone of hard country. Corinne’s debut record, “Bound for the Living,” resulted in international acclaim. Her follow-up record, “Second Sight,”
features Jerry Douglas, Darol Anger, Tony Furtado & Mike Marshall.

“An organic success story on the rise, her writing and singing are so on point that her career is blossoming from the attention of fans with juice. Her international rep has grown by BBC dj’s making her a personal crusade. This is a completely delightful set that demands your attention if you are looking for songs with something to say that you want to hear again, and music that is second to none. A stone cold winner throughout.” --Midwest Record Recap

“She burns the paint off the walls.” --Wavy Gravy
“Corinne West is the real deal.” --Gone Country

“Corinne takes a dash of folk, a bit of country, adds them to a bluegrass base and cooks up a style that is hers alone. She displays a remarkable empathy for the everyday people and situations that comprise our lives . . . Either she has crammed a lot of living into her years, or she is one hell of a perceptive observer. I suspect a bit of both.” --Don Grant – Freight Train Boogie
