"Cassandra Tribe is the most original
artist Iâve heard in a very long time."
-Brian Douthit

More than four years in the making, âthe House of Weddingsâ redefines Cassandra Tribe. Fans of her first CD, "the Garden of Lost Thingsâ will recognize the lyrical thought and deep questioning of her work yet this portfolio takes on a new dimension only promised within the âGarden.â

Replacing the electronica of the first CD with acoustic composition and stand alone vocal work, Tribe shines. Her voice, made up of both male and female presentations, offers a unique balance and interpretation of the words. The musical accompaniment and arrangements, drawn from sampling on her first CD have been entirely replaced by original composition and a greater manipulation of the human voice.

Inspired by the historical tale of a farmer in Rhode Island who built homes for each of his daughter as they married, âthe House of Weddingsâ is an examination of the nature of commitment - to our selves, others, faith and life. Written during three years of traveling the United States, Tribeâs exposure to different styles of vocalizing is reflected in the bluegrass tones of âTake it allâ, the orchestral composition of âHeaven and Earthâ and the maturation of her spoken style so eloquently displayed in âDevastationâ.

Those of us lucky enough to have seen her performing the material live in Las Vegas, Florida and Texas have witnessed, firsthand, the tremendous impact of her writing and her ability as a performer. The "House" is accessible to a broader audience than just those of us dedicated to spoken word.

To repeat what someone once said about Tribe, she is truly the âarchitect of the soulâ and with each building that is finished, the city of life has been made a greater place.

A great choice for fans of spoken word, a greater choice to introduce someone to what the best of spoken word can be like. Visit www.cassandratribe.com for more information.
