Suzanna Choffel - Steady Eye Shaky Bow

Suzanna Choffel - Austin, TX based singer/songwriter brings her husky, slow-smoked vocals to the ten new songs that make up her second full-length, the follow up to her jazz/pop-centric 2006 debut // Release: Steady Eye Shaky Bow (May 24) // Sounds like: sometimes brassy, often bluesy, occasionally with a snaking, shifting rhythmic core, Choffel's songs are influenced by 60's girl groups, Motown and dark cabaret pop...center stage is that voice, combining a sensuous huskiness with some innately soulful chops // Quote: "Steady Eye Shaky Bow really describes me and the way I live,” says Choffel. “I’ve always had very strong, defined visions of what I want my life to be and what I want to do, but the way I get there and go after them is round-about and meandering, a bit shaky.” // What we like: her live show, which we caught in Austin a couple of years ago, adds a vibrant, free-wheeling feel with an exceptional band...the playful "Hot Shot" exemplifies the sultry, soulful vibe that Choffel can conjure at will -- this is bold, creative adult pop without a hint of stuffy seriousness...
