Large rock band from downtown NYC, fronted by composer/vocalist Kitty
Brazelton, whose voice ranges from a full, sweet pop sound to extended
techniques and rap. Drums, bass and guitar are augmented by harp, cello,
trombone, french horn and alto sax; the music takes advantage of the
rocking power of the rhythm section, the orchestral capabilities of the
full ensemble and the adventurous, improvisational spirit of all
involved.

"...Blends boisterous rock, classical lyricism, and jazz
spontaneity with myriad rhythms and counter melodies."
-The Cleveland
Free Times
"Never less than compelling."
-Boston Herald
"Rise Up takes you to exotic and wonderful places, and, somehow,
when you arrive you're in your own backyard."
