With roots in bluegrass, the blues, jazz, traditional folk, and old-time country, singer/songwriter Naomi Sommers is emerging as an exciting voice on the Boston music scene.
Since 2002, Naomi has put out three albums on American Melody. Two of these were solo albums, featuring original songs and in 2006, she released a mesmerizing album of traditional and original “old-time country slowgrass” with the Gray Sky Girls. She has just released an album recorded in Nashville, produced by the acclaimed musician/producer Jim Rooney (John Prine, Iris Dement, Nanci Griffith, Bonnie Raitt). Jim’s enthusiasm over Naomi’s songs and her voice prompted him to end a hiatus from the music business to make this record. The album was engineered by David Fergusson (Johnny Cash/Rick Rubin) and features a backup band of some of Nashville’s finest musicians.
