Los Angeles songwriter Henry Wolfe lives in the past. His assuredly understated debut LP Linda Vista looks back to pop music of bygone days for inspiration, from Tin Pan Alley to the 1970s heyday of the singer-songwriter. Produced by Nico Aglietti and Aaron Older (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes) the album was mostly recorded in live takes with Wolfe and his backing band playing together in the studio. The result is a loose dressed-down affair, a mash-up of Chet Baker and Neil Young that My Old Kentucky Blog calls "...the perfect confection of Broadway sass and breezy California folk." Released in 2011, Linda Vista has garnered enthusiastic reviews from Rolling Stone (3.5 stars), American Songwriter and Nylon, among others, and led Wolfe to tour extensively across the US for the first time. Recently a track from the record called "Someone Else" was featured in the ATO Pictures film "Terri, starring John C. Reilly.

Lady is definitely not a "chick band"...whatever that's supposed to mean...!

Combine the disarmingly soulful vocals of leading lady, Kate Foust with the grooves of drummer James Dudas, bassist James Scanlan, and guitarist Ryan Belski and you'll find yourself moving in your boots. And just when you thought it couldn't get any sweeter, the soaring lines of violinist Elizabeth Zook wash over your ears with melodic grace. The vivid, haunting, and bold sounds of Lady will seduce you...so watch out!

This genre-bending group formed in 2008 in Philadelphia, PA. Taking shape through the years, they released their first EP, "i think it's fine", in 2010 with Ropeadope Records. The recording of their full length album saw them in the studio in 2011 with legendary producer Phil Nicolo (Lauryn Hill, Billy Joel). The album, "Me & You" was released this past fall and is now available for purchase.
