Recent
sell-out shows to audiences across Europe have attracted rave reviews for Naked
Raven and scores of return invitations.
'...surprising harmonies...' '...soulful melodic folk
ballads...'
This group of Australian musicians brings classical finesse to an alternative, pop sound. Their divine blend of strings, percussion, piano, acoustic guitar and vocals has an unparalleled capacity to mesmerize new crowds.
At many European festivals where the likes of Tori Amos, Michelle Shocked and Ani DiFranco have appeared, it is Naked Raven that holds the record for on-site CD sales.
Since
accepting their first invitations to perform at a number of European festivals
in 1996, Naked Raven have gone on to record seven albums, complete annual
international tours and build a reputation as an innovative and eclectic
ensemble.
"The fantastic voice of lead singer/songwriter Janine
Maunder is one of Australia's most respected. Janine's singing ranges from
warm, full and soulful to the most delicate and haunting beauty. With the magic
of James Richmond's percussion mixed with virtuosic guitar playing and the
warm, dark sound of the cello, Naked Raven weaves a soulful carpet of sound and
emotion. Blending brilliant and lyrical violin tones and sweet vocal harmonies
from Stephanie Lindner they create a musical unity as fine as it is rare.
