Album Notes

Unique in their own right, this female duo puts their music up front in the spotlight. Potpourri presents a challenge to their listeners to find the niche where they fit. Country? Rock? Pop? Folk? It's up to each music fan to decide. But no matter where you think Potpourri fits, there is no question that they bring a maturity and life quality to their music. There is a subtleness in their songs; the more you listen the more you'll find to delight in. It's hard to believe this much music is being put out by a duo.

Where does Potpourri find the inspiration for its songs? From their debut album "Playing Out", the 6th track was written on a dare. Angel and Brenda sat down to write a happy, romp through the park type of song and wound up with "Without Her" -- nearly the complete opposite of their original goal. "Dreams" was written after a gentleman they knew broke down one evening mourning the loss of his life partner. And the 3rd track "www.AnythingBut.Calm" was a result of the inroads the internet has made in people's lives. Their 2nd CD "Pastiche" has "Woman on the Prowl", written after a *itch session about guys hitting on women in bars. Also on Pastiche is their first patriotic song "Red White & Blue", set to a disco beat that they laughingly call their 'tribute to marching bands everywhere'. Angel and Brenda both write about events, people and places that have made an impression on them. Events, people and places that most listeners will be able to identify with. Songs you'll quickly sing along with.

Singers/songwriters, Angel and Brenda have honed their talents throughout the years, culminating in their own style of music. Eclectic for its wide range of beat and style; their CD's range from soft rock to harder rock to disco and country. Although they take their music seriously, Potpourri is the first one to point out the uniqueness of their situation. It's not often that women past the age of majority enter the music world, and Angel and Brenda have no problem confirming that they're at least that old. But that's all they're willing to admit -- a lady has to have some secrets!

The bottom line is that Potpourri does its own thing. They break the mold through the number of their birthdays and lifestyle choices. They play music that sits easy on the ears. They bring a feeling to their music that listeners identify with. They astonish people by taking chances and doing the undoable. And most importantly, they are following their dream and having fun.
