Details:
After several years providing harmonies in a band, Jodi Harman has recently made a place for herself as a singer/songwriter with her first full-length, acoustic solo release, Paper Dragons. With an acoustic guitar and honest lyrics, Jodi's songs are about love, loss and truth and are full of raw emotion, bracing vocals and melodic harmonies.

The cd features Baltimore singer/songwriter Kimberly Hall (www.kimberlyhall.net), guitarists Jerry Wade and Patrick Kisicki (www.rainydayrecluse.com) and cellist Kristin Putchinski (www.ellencherry.com).

CD REVIEW......
Chesapeake Music Guide
By Michael Macey July 2005

Paper Dragons is the debut release from Baltimore singer/songwriter Jodi Harman. Formerly with Baltimore's SuZi, she's on her own with eleven introspective and confessional songs...

(about "I Fall") It's a song that, despite its meloncholy sound, is optimistic...Its melody provides one of the many memorable hooks that pop up throughout the course of the record.

(about "Honestly") It has a lovely haunting melody that's complimented perfectly by the cello...The production has a nice, uncluttered sound that keeps instrumentation to a minimum...the minimalistic sound serves the production well, as it helps place focus on the lyrics and Harman's voice, which are both highlights of the album.

Paper Dragons is a very strong debut that will go a long way in establishing Harman's early reputation as an intelligent and appealing songwriter. She has a good grasp of what it takes to write a song that's easy on the ears and a presentation that puts the emphasis on the words and her vocal talents. In my book, that's a winning combination.
