Adrianne Lenker - Stages Of The Sun (2006)

A low profile debut "Stages of the Sun". With classical, jazz and R&B training, Adrianne Lenker has created a style of music all her own on her debut album, Stages of the Sun. At times, she sounds folksy and at other times, she sounds a bit country. Her unique childhood may have also played a big influence on her songs and musical style - growing up in a strict religious environment with parents who searched for spirituality, Adrianne lived on an Amish farm! Adrianne Lenker wrote five songs on the disc and co-wrote four with her dad. Adrianne's dad also sings backup vocals on the album. Adrianne Lenker won an Honorable Mention for her song, My Bliss, in the International Songwriting Competition, an annual contest for aspiring singers.
