About This:
Living Room Dances is the first full-length
recording from Boston-based jazz-folk songwriter
Jody Blackwell. Blending a personal, poetic
narrative style of folk songwriting with
sophisticated jazz harmonies, open tunings, and
the occasionally funky grooves of her versatile
studio band (all former members of the Boston
band Groovasaurus), Jody's songs are at the same
time eclectic and accessible, foot-tapping but
thoughtful. A native of South Carolina, she
currently lives in and performs around New
England. Jody cites as her influences a wide
range of artists, most conspicuously Joni
Mitchell, as well as Suzanne Vega, Pat Methany,
and Brazilian songwriter Ivan Lins.
