A truly special artist - one of the year(2006?)'s real discoveries. Fans of Sugarcubes-era Bjork and Mazzy Star will both find lots to love here. Hailing from Nashville, Courtney switches between ethereal electronica and more traditional vocal / guitar arrangements. Wonderful stuff. Toured with Howe Gelb on his "Sno Angel" tour. and was highlighted by the Sunday Times (London) as one of the outstanding new artists of the year.(2006) Truly a very talented writer/performer.
