"Completely refreshing songwriter... vocals that drip
with passion and presence..." -SF Bay Guardian

The Story

Green Huse is a songwriter. She loves to write songs; she loves to sing them. Each song from her debut CD depicts a rite of passage delivered with honesty. She takes the listener on a journey through her most recent incarnations of life. Departing from an insecure innocence, traveling to deep jungles and dreams within her heart, she reaches a humble, ecstatic destination.

This debut CD comes emblazoned with an original painting by Green, an image of one of her totems, the sunflower. She likens each song on the record to a petal of the sunflower, each making a delicate contribution and together depicting the complexity of her "Multiheaded Heart." Each petal is nestled in a full array of pop/rock/folk/blues and world beat styles. The songwriting is mature, intimate, quietly intricate and addictively listenable.

Her music arrives on the shoulders of many great influences, Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin and The Smiths to name a few. Green's illustrious soprano voice ranges from the popular and refreshing "Thinking Like This," to the moody and substantial "Kitchen Table," all the way home to the deeply soulful "Train." Her melodies could be described as capricious yet reigned-in, capturing the ability to surprise without leading you on a wild goose chase. They are magically pursued by sublime harmonies inspired by the impressions left her on her young ears by Simon and Garfunkel and more recently The Indigo Girls.

As a guitar player, Green developed her own style of playing her Martin HD28. Merging her classical and flamenco training with the influences of Ani DiFranco's funk rhythm, the popular virtuoso finger styles of Emily Saliers and the beautiful pop sensibilities of the Beatles, she has created her own unique groove of finger, rhythm and chord technique.

Her songwriting is diverse: "Thinking Like This" is catchy, honest, upbeat and vulnerable. The song is about falling into that trap of comparing yourself to others and recognizing the power of negative … and positive thought patterns. "Leather and Chrome" and "Train" detail both sides of desire: the elation of fulfillment and the despair of eternal longing. "Catch me Falling" calls for you to let go and simply be in love with the beauty of life.

Green's commitment to being an artist is evident. Using strong songs, excellent musicianship, an unforgettable voice and a warm performance style, she is building a place for herself among her mentors.
