Album Notes

"Lorin Hart comes from a long line of lawyers, fisherman, actors, painters, artillery captains, patriots, pioneers, soldiers, and runaways. Her handsome father collided briefly with her poetic mother in and around the great metropolitan theaters long enough to contribute to the arts their insightful, darkly brilliant,
singer-songwriter siren, Lorin Hart." ( Chad wrote that)

"She was born in Providence R.I. and raised in Greenwich Village and Greenwich,Connecticut (after an initial globe trot to the British Isles on her mothers hip where she bounced about by Brendan Behan and the like). She was educated in the finest schools, cut her musical teeth on her mother's opera, guitar playing boyfriends, the Newport Folk Festivals and Greenwich Village basket houses. She was delivered onto Northwestern University's campus right at the heart of the 60's, subsequently transferred to Haight Ashbury, immediately married a musician and had three of four kids traveling all the heck over everywhere in a hand painted (forest green) panel van earned doing a 'B' movie in Coconut Grove Florida (and that's
another story).

She clearly remembers bits of Cambridge Mass., Roanoke, Virginia, East Village New York, Fayetteville Arkansas and Stowe Massachusetts. She was finally dragged, kicking and screaming, to Los Angeles, where she sadly divorced her husband of 12 years, had her fourth child and has been loitering ever since, writing stuff the whole way.." (I wrote that)

"Ten years on the LA club scene and coffeehouse circuit have seasoned her into the sultry, commanding entertainer who can count as her friends and fans the likes of Tom Waits, Hal Blaine, and Traveling Wilbury drummer, Jim Keltner. (All three legends were involved in Lorin's most recent CD.) Her ability to weave original poetry into various formats: blues, folk, jazz, and country western, has endeared her to music lovers of all ages. Comparison roulette has found others describing her as a cross between apples and oranges." (I forget exactly who wrote that, it wasn't me.)

Lorin has opened for Billy Swan, Chris Spedding,Chris Montez, among others. Lorin sings alone with her guitar, with a small group, or a full tilt band. "Whatever the setting, it is the words of her music that you want to listen to. She most definitely has something to say. " (this was out of some newspaper)
