Album Notes

"3rd place winner of the 2004 Lady Six String Songwriting Contest -- winning song Image to Image"

"Narrow Road" is a body of work that blurs the boundaries between folk, pop and rock.

"Mellifluous yet sometimes haunting melodies accompanied by the strumming, thumping, and finger picking of her acoustic guitar, provide the core of Paula's unique songwriting style. Add to this a group of seasoned and accomplished musicians who made her songs their own, and a world class Grammy winning producer to help put it all together, and you have a CD that is certainly destined to touch the hearts and souls of it's listeners. A solo performer for most of her life, Paula now embarks on a new journey and expands her musical horizons to include a multitude of talent."
- Jeff Worley, Otherdoor Records

The foundation of my band on the CD includes drummer Joey Peters of Grant Lee Buffalo, guitarist Ty Stevens of Mandy Moore, and bassist Tad Wadhams of Cheryl Crow and Bernie Taupin's Farm Dogs. Additional musicians on my "Narrow Road" CD are Rami Jaffee & Ben Peeler of the Wallflowers, Cameron Stone, Tim Pierce, David Channing and Robert Powell. The production, engineering and mixing were handled by Ross Hogarth, whose credits include Shawn Colvin, Black Crowes, REM, Keb' Mo's 1998 Grammy Award winning record "Slow Down" and Jewel's "Spirit".

"Paula Brisker is a new shining light in music. Her music is honest, simple yet complex and a joy to be a part of. Every now and then I get the opportunity to be involved in making records that are and will be timeless in quality. Narrow Road is one of those for me. I am proud of the result and loved the process of sharing in it's creatiion. I look forward to what the future holds for Paula and feel that the best is even yet to come for her and her fans."

I was born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area, I worked extensively with vocalist Raz Kennedy, one of the original members of Bobby McFerrin's a cappella group, "Voicestra", and vocal coach to such artists as Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, Shana Morrison, Los Tigres Del Norte, Aaron Carter, and more. Here I learned invaluable vocal technique and began writing songs with a voice of a different nature.

"Among the most authentic voices I've heard all year. Narrow Road is a perfect example of Paula's talent as a singer and songwriter. Required listening"
