Album Notes

Havilah's songwriting fuses jazz and blues influences with a rootsy, alternative edge which combines lush vocals and soaring melodies with solid, groove oriented rhythms. With a penchant for songwriting and word play, Havilah's lyrics sometimes poignant, other times humorous, convey her own perspective on political and environmental issues, as well as personal experiences about life.

Favorable compared to other great female singer songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant and Lucinda Williams, Havilah has developed a distinctly unique style and both her songs and personality have the ability to reach a diverse audience. Most recently, Havilah has earned semi finalist entries into several regional songwriting contests in Texas.

Havilah's latest release, Delilah's Gold, finds Havilah spanning the gamut from edgy to earthy, sensitive to sassy, introspective to silly. An eclectic mix of folk, jazz, rock, blues and even a touch of electronica, Delilah's Gold ups the anty for aficionados of timely, contemporary folk be delivering yet another well-produced release. Delilah's Gold, along with Havilah's first two albums Superfarmhouse and Crashing Into Emeralds have received rave reviews by fans and critics nationwide.

A gypsy at heart, Havilah recently returned from a year long stint in Europe where she performed in Irish pubs, flamenco bars and Italian rodeos. Upon returning to the U.S., Havilah relocated to the musical treasure trove of Austin, TX where she has become a fast fixture among a vibrant community of singer songwriters. Havilah is currently working on her most exciting and passionate release to date. Havilah will promote her new release over the summer with extensive touring of the west coast during the months of June and July 2009.

Havilah has shared the stage with notables such Jewel, Steve Poltz, Joules Graves, Rebecca Riots, Po Girl, Melissa Ferrick, Stacey Earle, Kris Delmhurst and many others.
