Singer-Songwriter Nancy Falkow takes a melody, introduces it to an image-laden lyric and gives it a home by creating a sound-scape in song. In June 2004 Falkow celebrated the release of CLEAR VIEW (follow up to 2000's SMITTEN.) A year and a half in the making, she teamed up again with Emmy-winning producer Shane McMartin to create an engaging and dynamic sophomore album. A performer first, Falkow has led an exciting career as an independent artist; touring nationwide, singing on many projects and landing songs in TV and film.
As a vocalist Falkow has landed guest spots on recordings from Astrud Gilberto to G Love. Her most cherished career highlight was when she toured as a vocalist with Daniel Lanois on his "Shine" Tour in 2003. Early in her career a coveted spot at the Lilith Fair opened lots of doors for her. She has shared stages with many personal heroes including Richie Havens, Donovan, Patty Griffin and Sarah McLachlan. With each experience she learned a little more and continued to grow as a songwriter and an entertainer.
Upon the release of her second album, Smitten, Billboard Magazine singled her out from the pack by saying, "Falkow is writing infectious pop/folk songs with palpable soul."
She is currently working on a new collection of original lullabies, tentatively titled "Road to Slumberland." She co-wrote this record with extraordinary songwriter Dublin-based Fran King and uber-talented producer (and songwriter in his own right) Duncan Maitland.
With her Summer 2004 relocation to Dublin, Ireland after 17 years in Philadelphia, PA, getting hitched and having a kid, Falkow is enjoying a whole new adventure, a change of scenery and a nice, CLEAR VIEW.p>
Proud to have shared the stage with.
