Artist description Whether telling a poignant story or poking fun at some of our more hallowed institutions, Nancy's songs illuminate modern American life. Nancy was raised in the metropolitan New York area and now lives in Maryland. She was a member of the trio Venus Rising, recipient of the 1997 Washington Area Musicians Association award for Best New Artist as well as nominations for Best Contemporary Folk Group and Best Debut Recording.

Poetic yet direct lyrics, beautiful vocals, and fine instrumental work make "Be My Mirror" an exceptional solo debut recording.

Press Reviews Vic Heyman of Vic's Music Corner describes Nancy as " ... a knockout ... with well-crafted songs and a marvelous voice ... Her personality fills a room." David Nuttycombe of the Washington City Paper writes, "This Mother rocks ... Alternating the wry with the gorgeously heartrending."
