FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seattle, WA / Portland, OR / August 4, 2010 - Seattle singer/songwriter/guitarist Connor Desai, whose sophomore album Use Your Hands “manages to break down jazz into its more pleasing parts… the experimentation, the intelligence, the full-bodied pairings…in a winning presentation of art, style, and verve" (Jazz Music Examiner) will be doing an in-store performance at Portland’s Millennium Music on Monday, September 13.



Millennium Music

3158 East Burnside Street

Portland, OR 97214



Connor Desai makes soulful American folk music and names Victoria Williams, Steely Dan, and Kansas as her early influences. In a recent review, Seattle Show Gal said “[she] is sure to melt your heart with her sultry, silky voice and fine-tuned jazzyness with a hint of bouncy pop.” Her latest appearance at ToST in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood received a recommendation from Three Imaginary Girls, which asserted that her latest release is filled with “hollow-bodied warmth, tube amp glow, and dark lounge haunt-drama” while a national feature on Channel One News said “[you] can play the entire record, her refreshing sounds provide a nice variety -- whether they are upbeat and ranging near pop, or more slow and contemplative.”
