Our favorite wild red-head  chick guitar slinger.  Plenty o'tude with this girl. And she's as tender as a puppy's belly. She's got it all--great writer, great singer, great player.

"Award winning Singer/Songwriter Caren Armstrong is a mighty force in a petite package. She is a living testament to the art of Self-Expression. Skillfully combining dynamic, multi-colored vocals and a highly accomplished guitar style with intelligent, at times hysterical lyrics, Caren dusts off the term singer/songwriter. with a polish revealing delightful wit, great chops and a convincing passion for how she feels about the world.."  Bob Stane,  Coffee Gallery 

"Don't expect the music business to make a whole lot of sense, but if it did, Marin singer/songwriter John Haley-Walker would be in heavy rotation on every folk music lover's CD changer and playing to packed rooms every night. He sings like an angel who's taken a devilish detour or two and fingerpicks a Gibson guitar the way God and Dave Van Ron intended".     Mike Thomas, Pacific Sun

Natalia Zukerman’s Weasel Records debut Brand New Frame introduces listeners to her rich layers of top notch guitar playing, contemporary beats and dark, sweet, provocative vocals. Musically sophisticated, intimate and irreverent all at once, this record highlights what’s best about Americana music and offers it a Brand New Frame.

Produced by Willy Porter (www.willyporter.com), Brand New Frame features Zukerman on vocals and guitars, with Dave Schoepke on drums, Leroy Deuster on Pedal Steel, Bryan Mir on electric bass, Todd Sickafoose (Ani Difranco) and Marty Ballou (John Hammond) on upright bass. The album is also sprinkled with notable guest appearances by fellow songwriters Willy Porter, Melissa Ferrick and Edie Carey.

Since 2004, Zukerman has been touring the country opening shows for roots greats and guitar slingers including Kelly Joe Phelps, Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky, Garnet Rogers, Melissa Ferrick, Catie Curtis, Susan Werner and many others. It was on the road that Zukerman formed the relationship with Willy Porter that would lead to producing Brand New Frame and releasing the album on his label Weasel Records.

“Brand New Frame is a perfect fit with what I’ve always wanted Weasel to represent. The small but mighty team here is thrilled to share Natalia’s record, and tremendous talent, with the world.”
