I was just introduced to a new artist named Terami Hirsch.

“Hirsch bares her soul with a forthright candor that would have the likes of Jewel running for cover.” – Campus Circle
“Terami’s first CD is great. At times chaotic, at other times blissful, the music and arrangement are always captivating. Her voice is sweet and powerful and the lyrics behind the songs are often beautifully uncomfortable. I’ve never really been an avid listener of “girl music” but this one works for me. You should hear it for yourself. Keep up the good work, Terami!”
The songs I have heard so far are really quite eclectic, in a good way of course. She reminds me at times of Tori Amos, Juliana Hatfield, Jewel… Anyway, if you join her website’s community before the end of tyhe month she’ll send you a 10 track demo CD for free. Go check it out!
