One afternoon last year as I was working away at my computer I heard some beautiful music lofting down the hall. I walked towards my daughter's room, and yes, that's where the music was coming from.
The song was gorgeous. The vocals, deep and soulful, were accompanied by a soft harmonious guitar.
I stood and listened for a few moments, then opened the door to ask my daughter what cd she was playing - and to my utter shock and amazement, I discovered that it was my daughter singing and playing guitar - not a cd...
To say that I was dumbfounded would be an immense understatement. I had no idea that she could sing (I am her mother - how could I not know this??!! hmmmm - I wonder what else she can do...).
My daughter's voice is sublime, and she's not bad on the guitar either. Her sound is unique, filled with soul, and buried deep within the melody she sings is the wisdom of someone three times her age with four life-times of experience.
Over the past year I have had the absolute pleasure and pride of hearing her sing frequently and a few months ago she participated in her first live show - a Tom Waits tribute at the Solstice Cafe. Her energy captured the room and held it tight, and she brought the house down with rolls of applause (seems I'm not the only one who thinks she has a pretty good voice - who'd believe me anyway... I am her mother after all ;o).
Fraea has been invited to perform as a guest in a local show here in Victoria next month. If you're in the area you can catch her performance, along with a few others, on April 7th at Camas Books, 2590 Quadra St., Victoria, BC. Door is at 6:30, tix by suggested donation of between $5 and $10.
Come on down - it promises to be yummy!
