Clare Fader & The Vaudevillains - Seventh And Trade (2003)

Born in England and raised in Ireland, Clare Fader's past is as colorful as the songs she writes. After a stint in a Hawaiian Lounge in Montreal, Canada during the late 90's, Ms. Fader moved to the US and began making a name for herself writing and performing seriously fun music.
The Worcester Telegram & Gazette calls it " a woozy and bohemian sound that absorbs elements of jazz, folk, and pop, all tugged at by dueling influences of retro-chic and avant-garde" The Independent Weekly proclaims "Fader is part Dietrich and part dark carnival"
Her debut cd, The Elephant's Baby, is considered by some to be the jewel in the crown of independent record making. This follow up release is already receiving equally enthusiastic reviews. Go Triad Magazine calls it "unforgettable stuff"
The Vaudevillains include Mary K Elkins on 'cello, Andy Mabe on upright bass, Aaron Bachelder on drums, and Brad Cokendolpher on guitar. Guest soloists on this cd include, North Carolina's fiddle master Rex McGee.
In February of 2004, Clare Fader and The Vaudevillains performed with The Winston-Salem Symphony. Critics agree the evening was a smashing success.
