 New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Kate McGarry stumps for Obama with her very personal rendition of 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' from her upcoming release, 'If Less Is More...Nothing Is Everything.' McGarry explains: 'I was inspired to record this song by the pioneering spirit and dedication to unity and optimism that Barack Obama has brought to the political mainstream. I do feel the tides finally turning, people waking up-we are at a point where anything is possible if we can take responsibility for our actions and for the stewardship of this planet.' 'Dylan's battle cry for change is as relevant now as it was in 1968 when I heard my older sister singing it during America's involvement in another specious war,' says McGarry. 'My arrangement includes the feisty organ and the war-like feel of the Cajon, a Peruvian folk drum. Hailed by Downbeat as one of the top female jazz vocalists of 2007, McGarry has captured the attention of tomorrow's jazz fans. The Los Angeles Times writes, 'McGarry's sense of musical authenticity is beautifully blended with her always-original musical vision.' Kate McGarry continues to redefine the realm of vocal jazz on her upcoming release 'If Less Is More... Nothing Is Everything,' which will be released August 19th on Palmetto Records.
