NYC: DIANE BIRCH - 'SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER'

Diane Birch brings her show 'Speak A Little Louder', based on her CD of the same name, to JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Wednesday, July 22nd at 9:30 pm. A marriage of darkness and light, of pain and abandon lies at the core of 'Speak A Little Louder,' Diane Birch's first new album in four years. It's a captivating and deeply moving record; a window into her complex and challenging journey into womanhood documented with intense emotional honesty, indelible melodies, and rousing hooks. 'Speak A Little Louder' follows the pianist/ singer/ songwriter's extraordinary 2009 debut, 'Bible Belt,' which opened in the Billboard Top 100 and prompted comparisons to Laura Nyro and Karen Carpenter along with glowing reviews from The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and more. Birch, who had worked primarily as a songwriter prior to signing with S-Curve Records, honed her skills as a performer on the road supporting the album, sharing the stage with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Betty Wright and appearing on The Today Show, Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel, and Ellen along the way. Amidst the success, though, was devastating loss. At the close of the 'Bible Belt' project, Birch faced the end of a long-term relationship, recovering from the pain of heartbreak only to lose her father to cancer a short time later. In the wake of it all, the prospect of completing a new record felt like an impossible feat and left Birch questioning her future, both personally and artistically. There is a $20 cover.
