Sera Cahoone - Sera Cahoone (2006)

"A unique blend of old country & western and modern lo-fi...Cahoone's album is spare, arranged with meticulous but not fussy precision. While acoustic guitar serves as the primary accompaniment, judicious integration of banjo, dobro, and pedal and lap steel enrich hushed cuts." :- Kurt B. Reighley

Everything about Sera Cahoone begs you to come closer.

Her clear, aching vocals can drop to a whisper, sometimes even fading into nothing but the vague sound of words, a dreamy memory of a long-ago conversation.

The 29-year-old Seattle singer's debut solo album has none of the bombast you might expect from the former drummer of Carissa's Wierd. On this rootsy, lo-fi collection, Cahoone and her band have stripped country music to its purest form, the pained, far-off moan of the pedal steel, the lonesome dobro and violin, with a little banjo and the slight heartbeat of bass and drums. :~ Chris Jorgensen

Sera Cahoone is a twenty-nine year-old singer songwriter based in Seattle, by way of Colorado. Armed with her favorite Martin guitar, Seras music reflects her love of both old country-western and modern lo-fi. Her unique sound bridges the gap between the two genres, like a musical love child of Buck Owens and Cat Power. The Strangers music editor, Jennifer Maerz, states Cahoone has a truly gorgeous voice, a dusty country style delivery...(her) music gives me the chills...slow, warm, simply beautiful.

Sera has spent the past year working on her first full-length album. It was recently completed with help from musician friends: Jay Kardong, Jeff Fielder, Eric Himes, and Sarah Standard and Mat Brooke from Carissas Weird. The ten songs on her album feature a wide array of sounds including pedal steel, banjo, dobro, violin, and harmonica. Her album tells the quiet story of simple truthsheartbreak, longing, and self-discovery.

Sera began writing songs on the guitar in high school, but actually got her musical start at the age of eleven, when her mother finally gave in to her daughters prodding and bought Sera her first drum set. To the tune of her familys exasperation, she taught herself the drums by playing along to the radio in her bedroom. By thirteen, Seras mother was driving her to Rocky Mountain-town bars to play open blues jams with musicians thirty years her senior.

In recent years, Sera was the drummer for indie favorites Carissas Wierd, touring with Iron and Wine and The Long Winters. She has also played with Panda and Angel, Lisa Orth, and L.A. musician Patrick Park, completing two U.S. tours with Patrick in support of Liz Phair, Rachel Yamagata, and The Thrills. Sera also played drums on the upcoming release from Sub Pops Band Of Horses.

Sera's experience as a drummer has heavily-influenced her song-writing. She has a sharp sense of rhythm and tempo, and has been described as a particularly percussive guitar-player, producing songs that are rich and memorable. Named by The Seattle Times as one of the Northwests top ten new artists of 2005, Tom Scanlon writes, "Upon hearing her sing, its clear she belongs in front of a microphone, no matter how good a drummer she is."
