Amy Correia’s voice resonates with old blues, ’20s jazz and hipster dawdling. She slowly draws listeners into her garish world with songs that are gentle and glowing one moment, smoldering and sad the next. Correia turns imperfections into delightful intimacies.

For the past year or so, Greta Gertler has been performing with The Extroverts: a sublime tuba rock ensemble that sounds a bit like the band from some strange, off-off-off-off-off-Broadway musical. They are currently preparing to mix a new album which was recorded at Brad Albetta's (Martha Wainwright/Teddy Thompson) studio with engineer Brian Fulk. The band features Matt Moran, mobile percussion unit)\ & Ron Caswell, tuba -Matt & Ron are also in Slavic Soul Party!, Pete "Xtroverto" Galub, free pop guitarist, & Michael Gomez, country, blues, & jazz guitarist & lap steel. Greta's debut album, The Baby That Brought Bad Weather, brought her into the light as 'a hot commodity on the New York music scene' -Soundcheck, with a 'spacious voice & a welcome weakness of lushly orchestrated 70s-style pop -The New Yorker. The album has been described by Vin Scelsa, WFUV, as 'one of those hoped for revelations that all too infrequently emerge from the never-ending pile of new releases' & 'an album of timeless songcraft in the classic pop tradition but with a magic that transcends the genre' -Irwin Chusid, WFMU. Her follow-up, Nervous Breakthroughs, cemented her reputation as an intriguing & ultra-talented musician on the rise, possessing a 'sweetly lyrical voice, an arrestingly quirky sensibility, & a chamber-pop band that fits no pigeonholes. Some hear Rufus Wainwright, others Aimee Mann. All I hear is Greta Gertler- & I like what I hear. -Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal
