Little Birdie
Type:
Artist / Band / Musician
When Mark Rheaume, of CBC radio, named Orit Shimoni one of his top 3 Canadian artists of that year (2006), it was in response to her debut album, Cinematic Way. Her second album, I Left the City Burning, charted for three months on earshot! (Canadian roots charts). It was also a favourite on CKUA. With two independent Canadian releases, and in true troubadour fashion, Orit has since shed all semblance of a 'regular' life, and has been traveling from town to town, performing and recording, not only in throughout Canada but in Berlin, Antwerp, and throughout Holland.
An immensely prolific and versatile singer/songwriter, she is hailed for her writing (often compared to that of Leonard Cohen), as well as her moving singing voice, which has been compared to Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris, as well as Chrissie Hynde, Patti Smith, Margot Timmins and Neko Case.
Orit has recorded two more albums while in Berlin, and though she travels solo, she is often backed up by local musicians in various cities.
