The Fire, the latest EP from local singer/songwriter Marie Avery is ignited by the artist's striking voice. Her accomplished piano work also adds fuel to the flame.
Though this blazing EP has an indie-pop ambiance, Marie still grounds it with solid, poetic songwriting and classic structure. You can also hear a lot of jazz and a bit of broadway in the mix What comes through is a beautiful, honest recording full of surprises.
Backing her up is a great team of area musicians, including Bill Majoros (Foreign Films) and Carl Jennings (Freedom Train) - both of whom produced the EP. Kori Pop, Amber Edgar and Loretta Hale (Loretta Hale Big Band, J-Tones) join in as well.
This collection is available as a download on her Bandcamp page.
