Hi there!
I've been taking some time off from playing in S.F. so I can focus on
writing and getting the creative juices flowing.
I will be traveling back to Michigan early this summer and play a
show at Xhedo's Cafe. It should be cool. I'm looking forward to it
and hoping to gather some of my musician friends to play as well.
Also, I have a show with a cool songwriter named Nolan next month at
a place in Marysville, CA. That should be a fun show.

Here's some other news and reviews:
* HONORABLE MENTION AT DIY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2/05/04
Recently, I was surprised and pleased to see that "The Diamond
Fields" received an Honorable Mention at the 2004 DIY Music Festival.
I'm very proud of this record and glad to see that people out there
appreciate it. Thank you to the people at the DIY Music Festival for
appreciating and noticing my album!
* UNDERGROUND RECORDS REVIEW 2/02/04
Priscilla has been gaining some popularity out on the west coast for
a couple of years now. Her songs are modern folk based pop with a bit
of acoustic layer in with stabs of electric guitar to foster creation
of her art. Sounding like a Natalie Merchant clone though, or maybe
at times a lite Alanis, Priscilla will have trouble breaking out of
the pack without a signature sound, or signature song. Her voice is
strong, and a bit smokey, plus her songs are well written, so one
like "I Wore Black" with its angels in waiting harmonies could lend
itself to fame. After a few listens, it's also apparent Priscilla has
some soulful influence in there, and it bodes well with the more
atmospheric number such as "Vera". Adding some psychedelia over that
piece's Sgt. Pepper's era styling, fits well, and Vera comes accross
as one of the album's best. It could be a minor hit, and it just
might be the ticket for Priscilla Ederle to gain more notice for her
songwriting and singing skills, coming accross as something original,
even if most of the passages in the song are from classic rock of
days gone by. Overall, this album is a bit on the soft side, failing
when it reaches to become Joni Mitchell, yet achieveing a strong hold
when it gets grittier, like on the power chord driven "Everything Is
Hard", when the music stands on it's own as a statement, one that I
am sure Priscilla Ederle will make stronger as time passes.
Thanks for listening!
