PERCHANCE TO DREAM
by Red Veda
Independent

Written by Marti Kramer Suddarth

Sit down. Buckle your seat belt ... or at least find something solid to hold on to. Be prepared when listening to Red Veda's Perchance to Dream. Trite expressions don't quite do the Minneapolis based Red Veda justice, but Marsia Guerra's vocals will knock your socks off, throw you for a loop, and blow you away! Her vocal range is wide, with a full, rich depth at the lower notes. In her upper range, especially when singing "The Stronger" and "Unconditional" she's reminiscent of Tina Turner.

Equally impressive is Todd Burrell's intricate tickling the grand's ivories. He proves himself to be a jazzman extra ordinaire on "Believe," and "Unconditional." Guitarists Aaron Zepplin and Anthony Arrigo, bassist Robert Seekins, and drummer Kielo mesh seamlessly, creating a well coordinated, tight, jazz/blues/rock band that could hold its own against anybody. No mere "fly by nights," the band members combine degrees in music (including a Ph.D!) with heart. Close your eyes and listen to the instrumentals.

Finally, keep an ear out for guitarist/drummer Anthony Arrigo, who composed or co-composed every cut on the CD and, along with Chris Mara, produced the collection. He knows how to guide the band's instruments, including Marsia Guerra's voice, to their fullest capacity. The arrangements and lyrics are real and uncompromising and give Red Veda its soulful, jazzy sound.
