Since I woke up with this song in my head I decided to share it with the world.
I have been simply in love with the music of Diane Birch for about five years now and I was excited when a new track from her popped up in my Spotify. The song, Jukebox Johnny, is bit of a throwback and I could easily see it mixed in with some of the great female artists of the 70s like Carole King or Linda Ronstadt.
I'm sorry that there isn't an official video out for the song yet, but I was able to find the audio track on Youtube:
Here is a live performance of the first Diane Birch song I fell in love with, Speak A Little Louder:
Diane Birch (born January 24, 1983) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Her debut album "Bible Belt" was released in 2009 to positive reviews by critics.
With a childhood spent on the move, as the daughter of a preacher, living between Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia, before her parents finally settled in Portland, Oregon when she was in her early teens, Diane Birch absorbed a unique and very cosmopolitan perspective on life that shines through her music and makes a simple categorization of it impossible.
Trained as a classical pianist using Suzuki methodology (playing by ear at a young age following Suzuki's theory of language acquisition, where a child learns to speak before learning to read), Diane rapidly moved away from any confines of tradition, cultivating a very individual style and composing her own material. With an obvious abundance of talent and a passion for performing, it wasn't long before she realized that if she wanted to pursue a career in music she would probably be better served in Los Angeles, where both the film and record industries could be explored.
