CAREY KOTSIONIS "THE MAGIC COWBOY BOOTS EP"
Cleft Music is very excited to be working with the Mediterranean singing sensation from the Carolinas, Carey Kotsionis. The old world meets southern charm with this enchanting chanteuse.
Close your eyes and imagine a young hybrid of Cole Porter and Brenda Lee hula hooping in front of a microphone. 2003 found Kotsionis reinventing herself. Having left Nashville darling rag time/ pop duo, The Sways, she enlisted in Bobby Bare Jr's "Young Criminal's Starvation League" and would meet fellow criminal and Cleft multi- instrumentalist, Loney Hutchins. Kotsionis later spent the summer of '03 behind the wheel of her own project in The Teacher's Lounge studio, collaborating with Hutchins and other friends of the Cleft community.
"The Magic Cowboy Boots EP" is a compilation of choice recordings culled from this batch of summer sessions. Across five tracks, Kotsionis' ability to genre hop is evident while keeping a sense of classic melody. While all five cuts are out takes from her upcoming full length album, they serve up a strong hint of what explorations are in store for Kotsionis.
