Glendale, CA (Top40 Charts/ WomensRadio.com) WomensRadio.com, the aggregating radio Website, re-learned the alphabet this year, South by Southwest style and is back from Austin to share our overflowing hoard of audio, video, photographs and the treasured memories which accompany them. Viewers will have plenty to sink their teeth into and with an abundance of Exclusive Acoustic Sets and Interviews from both Official and Unofficial Showcasing Bands containing at least one female member, it's as easy as "A, B, C" for readers to engage with each group via original content provided by the WomensRadio staff. All-in-all, each featured performing artist or group is given the opportunity to stand out amongst thousands of other equally-impressive selections while being discovered by the targeted demographic of WomensRadio's niche audience of leaders ... who also happen to be women.
In the post-SXSW 2011 aftermath, Heidi Spencer reigns queen, and as so glibly accredited by WomensRadio's Director of Music & Talent, Brian Ball, "Meeting Milwaukee, WI native Heidi Spencer in-person during SXSW 2011 was one of the most treasured memories we brought back home with us after the festival. We were slightly nervous during our interview, but this didn't matter as Spencer's timeless songwriting coupled with her smoke and agave voice brought us together for a mutual understanding of all things musical. Spencer's official showcase at Central Presbyterian Church was the icing on the cake of our Friday night 'church circuit' while our interview earlier in the week was the perfect prelude to better understanding the madness behind the muse of Heidi Spencer and the Rare Birds."
Mr. Ball concluded with the following account:
During this exclusive interview and acoustic set, Spencer shared several songs from her new album, Under Streetlight Glow, such as 'Moth Met Spider', 'Go To France' and the ubiquitous 'Under Streetlight Glow', as well as a plethora of friendly particulars on such topics as her songwriting process, the personal lives of the Rare Birds band members, 16mm film and Spencer's recent excursion overseas in promotion of the new record.
All-in-all, if listeners are seeking a quirky, wholesome singer-songwriter that has the support of one of the coolest labels in the world behind her (see Bella Union) ... Heidi Spencer (and the Rare Birds) will be your stepping stone to musical contentment, by way of song, pure and simple. Her writing may dabble in darkness, but it is the magic of introspective analysis and fearless revelation which really sets Spencer's style apart from others in the genre. After all, every spider sees daylight at least once in their life, right?
