Product Description Less Nessman, a female fronted, New York City band has self-released their debut CD, Bird’s Eye View, a truly unique and blues-rock sound that pays tribute to the city that influenced them. Less Nessman defies the typical albums that fall into one particular mold. Listening to the album one notices this unique arc: - The first track, Ode to Lyle, warms the ear with a melodic, jazzy intro-exploration. - The second track, Spread Your Love, Less Nessman’s newly released single, is a hand-clappin’, foot-stompin’ prayer for spiritual protection. - The album builds to a track six peak with Blank Pages, including an extended jam-band, guitar and vocal scat laden section. - They bring the album to a close with a simple folk rock testament to honesty in love, complete with Janis Joplin-wails of emotion. The band constructed an album that takes the listener through a journey of interpersonal and spiritual connections with lessons on life, love and existential well-being. About the Artist The Less Nessman brand of Blues/Rock and Folk/Funk is a soulful groove with a rocker edge that makes a sitting fan get up and get down. Take your favorite 80’s summer hit sung through Janis and Aretha’s vocal chords and you’ve got Less Nessman - edgy vocals, melodic lyricism, and driving beats. Naomi Less personifies the sexy and intelligent woman of today. Her powerhouse vocals and signature scats rouse the audiences with a jolt to the soul. Naomi’s voice lifts off from the syncopated rhythms of her acoustic guitar. Adam Stein’s classic rock riffs and solos dance with Naomi for a sound that peels out of the lane with a nostalgic flare. The power trio of Naomi’s guitar rhythms and jazzy-blue vocals, Stein’s gallant 70’s rockin’ solos, and Jim ”Rock Hopper” Hopkinson’s driving-it-home beats will plant songs in your head and keep them spinning for days. Less Nessman captured their unique sound in the Spring of 2004 when they entered Vibromonk recording studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The result: Bird’s Eye View, their debut CD. The eight tracks include Less’ “Spread Your Love,” a hand-clappin’, foot-stompin’ prayer for spiritual protection, and Stein’s quirky rock anthem, “Empire,” identifying music as the world's healing language. Less hails from Chicago, studied classical voice at Northwestern University, and learned to play guitar through her Indigo Girls CD’s. Stein transplanted from Kansas City and has been playing guitar in bands for close to twenty years. Hopkinson made his way down from Boston, where he cut his rhythms in a band called The Nasties. These diverse origins influence and ultimately create Less Nessman’s unique sound on Bird’s Eye View.
