| HOT SOUP: Christina Muir, Jennifer Agner and Sue Trainor blend their musical talents to make Hot Soup. Hot Soup's live shows "sparkle" (Sing Out!). The trio brings a rare blend of spontaneity and intimacy to their performances, often developing hilarious exchanges among themselves and with the audience. The trio's musical diversity extends to their instrumentation -- in addition to guitar, you might hear mountain dulcimer, banjo, ukulele, bass, accordion and a variety of percussion instruments. The focus, however, is always the sweet voices, trading lead vocals and capturing harmonies that raise goose bumps. No surprise, really. All three are talented solo performers with recordings of their own in addition to their first, self-titled Hot Soup album and their latest release, Soup Happens. Sue Trainor is best known for satirical humor in her adult shows and imaginative musical play in her children’s performances -- she was named "Best New Artist for Young Children" by the international Children's Music Web in 1999 and was a finalist for "Best New Song for Older Children" in 2000. Christina Muir, the daughter of Ann Mayo Muir (of Bok, Trickett and Muir), builds on her musical heritage with her elegant vocals and lyrical instrumentation, insightful contemporary songwriting, and engaging presence. Jennifer Agner adds saucy soprano vocals to the blend. She favors swing and other tradition-based song styles, and her proficiency on guitar, banjo, and accordion adds extra spice to Hot Soup. ..................................................................................................................................... "It was a great honor and pleasure to have Hot Soup as both guests and performers at a house concert with Folknet. Most of our audience came here as an act of faith, but they left knowing that faith was justified. In fact, they were ecstatic!" (Jim and Bobbie Stone, Folknet, Akron/Cleveland) "Inspired program and marvelous harmonies. Something truly special happens when these extraordinary performers combine their voices and songs. A magical evening." (Steve Allen, Hudson Valley Folk Guild, New York) "Entertaining, intelligent, zany. Our audience is already asking us when they'll return." (Dave Humphreys, Two Way Street Coffee House, Chicago) |
