MISS TESS and THE BON TON PARADE - CD RELEASE! w/ spec. guest DANIELLE MIRAGLIA

Miss Tess is a New York City based songwriter and performing musician, who tours regularly with her band, as "Miss Tess & The Bon Ton Parade". In addition to Tess's tasty licks and prowess on her 1940s archtop guitar, the current lineup includes Will Graefe on guitar, Danny Weller on upright bass, and Matt Meyer on drums. Inspired by styles of vintage swing, blues, country, and folk, Miss Tess draws comparisons to artists such as Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Peggy Lee, and Chuck Berry, but maintains a style all of her own. "She's a musical chameleon, recalling at various moments Tom Waits' barfly humor, the cabaret-rock of Beirut, or even the wink-wink wit of early Bette Midler." Holly Hughes, Blog Critics.

Miss Tess has just released "Live Across the Mason Dixon Line", a true documentation the group's extensive tour history. The album features two live shows one from the Regatta Bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts and one from Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia. This release proves to be a valiant effort by the band, Miss Tess & The Bon Ton Parade, to blur the lines that once clearly dictated style, genre, and location. Stemming from the truest meaning of the now overused word "Americana", the band pushes their influences into the current music scene with something totally fresh and soulfully timeless. The skilled musicianship of the quartet combined with Tess's heartfelt songwriting and powerful stage presence creates a live experience that is more interesting and engaging then most by popular musicians today. It's quality music you can't define in one sentence.
