On returning from a six month tour of South America, armed with new songs and inspired by Brazilian drumming groups, Pagode bands, The Amazon, I brought together sounds that I like: mandolin, bouzouki, acoustic guitar, jazz double bass and Latin percussion. I quickly found some musicians and The Easy Tigers were born.
Over a weekend in February, somewhere in South London, five musicians met and played live. So, with maximum fun and minimal tweaking, the debut album of The Easy Tigers was recorded.
Quotes:
'I do think you would give the likes of Norah Jones a run for their money. I kept thinking Joni Mitchell while I was listening to you - your lyrics, your tone and your talent.'
'Playfully emotive hooky/rootsy texasbarndance-meets-Squeeze tunes'
'Nora Jones on a dirty weekend'
