Manic musical expressive Lori Barth has enjoyed multiple careers, from “guitar teacher to the stars” to international hit songwriter and editor for the journal of the Society of Composers and Lyricists. She gets back to her own rich solo artistry with an engaging set showcasing her stylish storytelling and vocal phrasing in a multitude of settings. Sparked by the percussive, optimistic “Beginning of the Dawn,” a co-write with Arnaud Dunover, Barth infuses her passions for everything from classic Brazilian music to Peggy Lee, Mose Allison and Dave Grusin. The playful “Pots and Pans” explains the joyful potpourri perfectly.
