Bio:
Angela has a hauntingly beautiful voice, folk-classical in sound, ranging from alto to soprano. Her soulful original songs are composed of exquisite melodies, woven with mellifluous, poetic and stirring lyrics. Her joy of singing and playing the guitar fills the room as she passionately showers her listeners with an uplifting spirit, delivering her message with a voice that soars over all. Angela plays both classical and acoustic guitar, delivering harmonious, often complex finger-picking guitar accompaniment to her singing.
Her songs are landscapes, reflections of nature, healing messages, and stories about the traumas and victories of living. She sings about the struggle of the true loving self navigating through the currents of modern world violence and destruction.
Angela has played at numerous venues, such as Club Passim (MA), The Me & Thee Coffeehouse (MA), Natick Center for the Arts (MA), Emerson Umbrella for the Arts (MA), Marblehead Festival of Arts (MA), Java Jo's (in Milton and JP, MA), and the Nameless Coffeehouse (MA). She has released two CDs - the first in January 2000, titled, "Time Will Tell", and the second, in September 2004, "Ancient Voices".

Listening to her connects me immediately with what I love most, and helps me to accept my humanity and to grow. Angela's guitar playing is excellent, her songs are always searching, and her voice is a powerful instrument which melts walls.
