Ten
©2003
Ten, recorded live at Jammin'
Java in Vienna, VA, is a celebration of ten years with both until-now unrecorded
songs as well as tracks off each of CommonbonD's other 4 CD's.
Included among those, writes Gregg Shapiro of the Windy City Times
and several other periodicals, "...live renditions of 'Fly' and
'Old River' as well as particularly powerful numbers such as 'I
Don't Know' (written for Matthew Shepard and his family), the
acoustic blues of 'History of Rock & Roll', and the fierce and
forthright 'Ainnobodybiniss'." This is a wonderful showcase of CommonbonD's live performance,
with amazing energy and powerful vocals. Music Reviewer, Les
Reynolds of Indie-Music writes, "...on the ubiquitous scale of one
to ten, it's a ten. ...it's the feel, the emotion and the
obvious connection with the audience that's so evident and truly
carries your experience with this CD." |

Chasing
Solace
©2002
Chasing
Solace, CommonbonD's fifth CD, was released to a
sold-out crowd at the Ram's Head Onstage in Annapolis, MD. Self-produced
and inspired by a close friend who has learned truly to find
life and solace in every day despite a debilitating illness, the
twelve tracks on Solace take the 'glass half full' approach to
life. While Solace is predominantly a two-woman show, with the
artists on lead/backup vocals, lead/rhythm and slide guitar,
bass, drums/percussion, and piano, Solace also enlisted a
handful of talented friends, including Eddie (from Ohio) Hartness, SONiA (of disappear fear), Jen Smith (of Naked Blue),
Mattie Phiffer, Laura Cerulli and Zoe Lewis. Included among the
Solace collection are catchy pop flavors, tender ballads, a couple
alt-country tunes and, of course, and all-for-fun blues jam. Chasing Solace was
nominated by the Washington Area Music Association for Best
Contemporary Folk Recording and had two tracks included among the
finalist rankings in the Songwriter's Association of Washington's
Mid Atlantic Song Contest. |

Naked Soul Dance
©1998
With 14 distinct
tracks spanning the pop, folk, rock, country and soul scenes,
CommonbonD's third full-length release has
something for everyone. Replete with crafty texturization from the
pitter-patter percussive trollop in 'Long Way Home' to the
church-reminiscent organ in 'Faithful and True,' NSD is an
uplifting treat. Naked Soul Dance won first place in the pop
category, second place in the Contemporary Christian/Gospel
category, and third place in the Adult Contemporary category of SAW's Mid Atlantic Song Contest. Naked Soul Dance
also won Just Plain Folk's Contemporary Folk Album of the Year.
Includes guest musicians and friends: Mike Davis, Mark St.
Pierre, Jennifer & Scott Smith from Naked Blue, AJ from Red Letter
Day, Deanna Bogart, Al Williams, Christy Turner and Sony recording
artist Devaugh Howard. |

Colors of Life
©1996
Colors of
Life, recorded
live at the legendary Birchmere (and released at the Birchmere), gives you a glimpse at the energy these two
women propel during a live show. While their audience can be
shrill, Colors is an 11-cut, live gem. Features the real-life
trial by error 'Hippie Cowgirl' and the AIDS dedication 'People
Laugh'. |

tapping. |
