Twink The Real Me CD

It was created in secret, in the still of night, under a sea of stars, and then released to the world in the bright of day, under the light of a yellow sun, on September 29th, 2008. ******************************************************************************The record is rooted in a musical core of acoustic guitar, upright bass, and Moriah's vocal, which is somewhere between Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, and Carol King. Strings, piano, pedal steel, and electric guitar add layers of moody emotional texture around lyrics that are laced with both hope and heaviness. There are subtle but powerful references throughout the album to folk, jazz, classical, and religious music, all four important parts of Moriah's musical prologue. Born to hippie parents in a little shack outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Moriah came into this world as Moriah Margaret Harris, a brown haired, brown eyed, rosy round baby. When she was two, her grandfather, the radio scientist, would listen to her cooing and somehow knew she had the gift of music bestowed upon her by the gods, or genetics, or maybe by both. Sure enough. the cooing baby soon turned into a violinist, the violinist turned into a pianist, the pianist picked up a guitar and strummed a few chords, and the chords turned themselves into songs . .

And now.

A tapestry of emotions and color. A collaboration of musicians under the night sky. A collection of songs.

A secret released. The Thieves on Stratton Avenue.
