Volume 4-2011

 

RAR's SONG OF THE WEEK:

Inspired by the demonstrations in Zuccotti Park and other Occupy Wall Street locations around the country, "Start A Fire" explores the motivations of those who aren't quite ready to make the commitment that those people living outside in the cold are making. Click on the cover shot above to listen to "Start A Fire", a RAR casual. And thanks to whomever is pictured in the shot above, taken recently in Zuccotti Park.

Elke Robitaille

www.elkemusic.com

Elke Robitaille is another young Canadian born singer/songwriter who has come south to establish a major following built on regular appearances on the L.A. folk club scene. She produces a rhythmic acoustic sound that features strong pop hooks and matches the quality of plaintive honesty one hears in her voice. She is tough, challenging, profane and confident.

Elke released her first LP, Doors, in 2002 and then followed up with last year’s Naïve. A graduate of the Musicians Institute of Hollywood, California, Elke is trained in recording engineering and music business management and runs her own Indie-Folk label, Rag Veda records.

She was did well in the 2006 Rock City News Awards, with nominations in the Outstanding Solo Artist category.

 

 

 

 

BOTTOM RIGHT: I love this photograph of Elke from her MySpace site, with the caption - "This was my faithful Tour Van. We spent a lot of great miles together!" Elke has been something of an itinerant musician in her young career, fitting for a folkie.
