Other comments include…
“Lorraine's melodies are both beautiful and original.”
“Bill’s eclectic stylings matched with Lorraine’s sultry voice make an infectious combination.”
“…your show was awesome - everyone loved you! They were so impressed with the talent...and are looking forward to your return.”
“The songs are sophisticated, positive, clever and fun! Lorraine (and Bill) write beautifully in all styles including jazz, blues, Celtic, folk and contemporary. The vocals, arrangements and musicianship are exquisite”.
Lorraine’s voice, described as both velvety and expressive, is as well suited to the upbeat rockabilly tunes as the melodic standards. As lead vocalist and composer, Lorraine creates the original melodies and lyrics. Bill, and friend Kevin Gallagher, composed the instrumental accompaniments to her songs on "Wisdom's Pearls".
Bill plays acoustic, electric, 7-string, and bass guitars, arranges the music, and adds background vocals. His guitar style lends a distinctively warm jazzy, bluesy feel to the music, and he dazzles with his fast and delightfully fluid leads. An accomplished bassist, Bill performed all bass parts on their original CD, “Wisdom’s Pearls”.
