Breathe (2006)

Breathe"There's no mistaking that marvelous voice, but if that alone gives her a decided advantage in the massed ranks of Austin's Girls with Guitars, she piles it on by writing songs that are estraordinarily inventive and distinctive. She writes poetry that can be sung." -- John Conquest, Third Coast Music

The band: Jean Synodinos (lead and background vocals); Charles Rieser (electric and acoustic guitars); Rob Hooper (drums and percussion); Brad Houser (bass and baritone sax). Produced by Charles Rieser and Jean Synodinos.

 

Lucky (2003)

Lucky"Few can genre-skate well, but perhaps that's because few have a voice as amazingly versatile as Jean Synodinos. Fresh but down-home dirty. Pure but worldly. Bottomless but downy-light. With that cannon in her pocket, Synodinos could sing any piece passable as music and cast it into greatness." -- Genevieve Will, indiemusic.com

The core band: Jean Synodinos (lead and background vocals, acoustic guitar); Charles Rieser (electric, acoustic and baritone guitars, mandolin, percussion); Chris Searles (drums and percussion); Glenn Kawamoto (bass). Guest artists: Earl Poole Ball (piano); Ephraim owens (trumpet); Rob Hooper (vibraphones); Wayne Sutton (electric guitar); Mac McNabb (electric guitar); David Hamburger (National guitar); The Grooveline Horns; Steve Bernal (cello); Catherine Berry (background vocals). Produced by Charles Rieser and Jean Synodinos.
