The July 18th release party @ Mercury Lounge drew a packed room where Greenfield wowed loyal & new fans alike w/ renditions of Inner Circle's Bad Boys and Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise, as well as the cult favorite original rap skit Michael Cera Clock-blocked Me At SXSW and new electro tunes Uncharted Places and Community. Later this week Greenfield will be among the first 5 performers to record at the new Converse Rubber Tracks Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The Converse project was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal: https://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303544604576434164111884264.html
Rock Out With Your Glockenspiel Out contains five undeniably unique covers of ubiquitous pop songs such as the '90s hits All That She Wants (Ace of Base) and Mama Said Knock You Out (LL Cool J), as well as the cult favorite Milkshake by Kelis. Showcasing Greenfield's singular vocals and performance style, the EP features the artist playing piano and, in a nod to her flair for instrumental experimentation, the aforementioned glockenspiel. Greenfield's cover of the smash hit Gangsta's Paradise - an undeniable cultural memory for Americans who came of age in the 1990s - has already garnered buzz and media coverage at SXSW and in NYC; it was most recently featured at the International Human Beatbox Convention and was plugged by the Huffington Post. An official music video for Gangsta's Paradise, directed by Adam Holz and produced by Artsis Media premiered today & is featured on the websites of Limelight/SongClearance.com, the LA Examiner, and Jingle Punks: https://youtu.be/wEBt3qcLHVQ
A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and founder of the Tinderbox Music Festival, Greenfield experiments with pianos, guitars, autoharps, synthesizers, glockenspiels, chord organs, drums, and beatboxers. A natural wordsmith, Greenfield dove back into her musical roots while completing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Alabama, an experience which became the inspiration for her second album, Tuscaloosa. Since arriving on the NYC scene in 2009, the musician has been recognized by publications such as The Huffington Post, Gothamist, Paste, Relix, The LA Examiner, The Deli, Venus Zine, and more. Her music has been heard on Fox Televeision and Rubyfruit Radio, as well as live from the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City to the Foyer de L'air in Mali, West Africa. Rock Out With Your Glockenspiel Out will be Greenfield's 4th release. Greenfield has collaborated with Chicago electronica trio Future Rock, who remixed her song Understand The Sky for their 2010 release, Live At Wicker Park. She has performed the song live with Future Rock at venues such as The Music Hall of Williamsburg and Le Poisson Rouge. Greenfield's original composition of Understand the Sky can also be heard in the feature film Conception, by writer-director Josh Stolberg (Piranha 3D, Good Luck Chuck).
