Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Elana Arian has done it again. After three years of extensive touring to promote her debut release FOREWORD, Elana returned to the studio-with a vengeance. She brought with her an impressive cast of musical collaborators: producer Tim Bright (Lisa Loeb, Toshi Reagon), drummer Dan Rieser (Norah Jones), keyboardist John Deley (Dido, the Weepies), and bassist Joe Quigley (Lisa Loeb). The result is HOW TO STAND IN THE RAIN “ a stunning new chapter in her burgeoning career as a performing and recording artist. Elana was raised on equal parts Mozart, Mingus, and Mitchell “ influences that guided her to study conducting and violin, jazz guitar, and songwriting in college. On HOW TO STAND IN THE RAIN Elana seamlessly blends the discipline of classical, the freedom of jazz, and the candor of folk music into her own unique style as a singer/songwriter. Rebecca Pronsky is a Brooklyn, NY native who continues to stake her claim as one of New York's finest young singers and songwriters. Over the past few years Rebecca has been touring and performing her country-tinged pop-noir songs at venues throughout the US. In her travels she has shared stages with Josh Ritter, Erin McKeown, Catie Curtis, Steve Forbert and Loudon Wainwright III, among others. Rebecca's songs are "literate, passionate, and wry" (Time Out NY) with "brutal, cutting lyricism" (Ithaca Times), and "are lent authority by her big jazz-trained voice" (Village Voice). Her Nine Mile Records debut 'Departures & Arrivals' was named a Top Ten Album of 2008 by the Philadelphia City Paper and has been featured on XM Radio. She has a new EP out this spring. www.elanaarian.com myspace.com/rebeccapronsky
