Album Notes

Copper Wimmin are three obstreperous young women who set audiences on fire with their brilliant lyrics, haunting voices and fierce harmonies. They create a sacred hurricane of sound which leaves their audiences spellbound and often, in tears. Something about this trio is so cathartic that they create a buzz wherever they go.

These vocal amazons have been singing together since they were twelve years old. They have evolved a sound so moving, so pure, that upon hearing them many recall a collective memory in which women sang together in caves and cathedrals before time began. Copper Wimmin are a sonic epiphany. They weave their voices together so expertly that it is hard to know where one voice ends and the other begins.

The combined impact of the arrangements, lyrical content, and outrageous stage presence is that of a sublime sledgehammer effortlessly crashing through the door that separates the soulless from the sacred. These three sirens stir up something deep.

Their message is at once cutting edge and ancient. From coffee houses to concert halls across the nation these phenomenal women have created an uproar. They were finalists in the Lilith Fair talent search and semi-finalists at the 1999 harmony sweepstakes. Their first CD is titled American Tyranny and they just released their second CD Etheric Bodies in fall of 2001.
