Cheers!
Wow ! I have had such a great summer already. I just returned from 3 weeks in the UK. I was able to go on this trip with my mom, and my youngest daughter, who actually turned 12 on the trip. I will be posting choice photos on my website before too long. ( I say choice, because I took over 2000 pictures on this trip! ! )
I wanted to let you know of an event that is happening this weekend. I heard about this competition after returning, and while I wish I had participated in the competition, I am excited about the finalists, and I hope you can come out to support our wonderful triangle area songwriters.

Here are some words about my CD, Illusions:
"...Buchanan has delivered a musical package that beams with soul and sensitivity. Her songwriting is smooth and fluid, with lyrics fitting the cosmic, haunting and stormy backgrounds created by equally fine musicians... The production quality is exceptional and is best appreciated with headphones on."

"...Kim Buchanan ... is already causing a buzz up and down the east coast with her dreamy, trippy take on folk music. Her second CD, Illusions, is folk rock with a psychedelic edge and a soothing, meditative effect on the emotions"

"Kim Buchanan gets high praise for her blend of pop, folk and jazz . . . Buchanan showcases her mellow alto on a tasteful collection of tunes"
