WENDY CONRAD

When asked about her songwriting, Wendy admits, "My truest self is in my music. I live my songs." And with her rich, provocative voice, her listeners are led through the textured landscapes of her life, mind and heart. Relocating to L.A. from Nashville in 1994, Wendy has been captivating audiences wherever she performs with her "real gift for melody and making personal feelings seem universal." (Jeff Gold, "Jeff Gold's Acoustic Cafe" - L.A., Ch. 3 & 38; N.Y., Ch. 69) Wendy can be seen performing at various premiere songwriter showcases at venues including Highland Grounds, Borders Books & Music, Luna Park, and Genghis Cohen, sharing the bill with such artists as Spencer Davis, Teresa James and George Highfill.

"Ghosts That Aren't Mine", Wendy Conrad's debut CD, co-produced with veteran Ed Tree, marks the culmination of her abilities, his expertise and intuition, and a flow of the unexpected turn of events. It began in 1995, when Wendy walked into Ed's studio with a single song to record. At the time, she figured she'd record a couple of demos to pitch around town. In fact, she wasn't even sure it would be her voice on the recordings. Luckily, it didn't take her long to realize that, not only IS she the singer, but, also, that the full produced recordings were to become part of her debut CD. "I loved recording this CD. It was a joy, and working with Ed was wonderful," Wendy recounts. "I miss it!" She missed it so much, in fact, that she started recording a brand-new song for the next CD...before this CD left the manufacturer. "I had to take a moment and remind myself, 'Wendy, you've just spent all this time and money on 'Ghosts'. You've gotta promote it!' So, here I am. Besides," she adds, "there's always something new to learn."
