Album Notes

Lovestory's story starts with two twenty-something women meeting in a hip Seattle restaurant kitchen. Kristi Brown could cook and sing like nobody's business and Elizabeth Woodbury composed continually, whether with a piano or a rolling pin.

Between concocting apple pies and spicy collard greens, the two found time to connect through music and spirituality and realized they had a destiny as a musical duo.

Elizabeth's jazz-informed songwriting and piano work blossoms in perfect sync with Kristi's exquisitely expressive voice, which has all the gut-level power of the best of gospel voices and the added eloquence of a shimmering high range.

Special guest Cliff Lyons on saxophones expands the duo's sound on their first 3 song cassette release, self-titled Lovestory.

Lovestory will be performing again this year at the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle! (it's free!)Come check us out at the Mural Ampitheatre Stage on Monday (that's Gospel Monday!) May 27 at 11:40 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. Like last year, the band will include Hans Teuber on reeds, Brandon Milner on percussion, and Lee King singing his heart out, as well as the standard fare--Kristi and Elizabeth. We'll have a couple brand new joyous, inspired tunes for you!
