Sunshine From Mars is the debut release from Vermont native Kate Barclay. She wraps her expressive voice and poetic musings languidly
around twelve folk-pop tracks, matching the intimacy and passion of Jewel and Tori Amos; and conjuring the sensual soul of Alana Davis
and Sarah Mclachlan. Barclay calls Sunshine "an album of relationships, including you and yourself, lovers, mother and child,
money and friends. . . . Songs of empowerment, freedom, peace and other struggles." Trey Anastasio (Phish) and Tony Markellis
also make guest appearances on Taylor guitar and bass respectively. Like a tasteful wardrobe, Chuck Eller's production elegantly
complements Barclay's vocal "figure", preserving the starkness of her voice at times, and supporting it in other places with piano,
saxophone, cello and banjo. Since the album was released, Kate picked up a 955, which she played on the main stage at Woodstock's
Back to the Garden festival in Bethel, NY. "The harder Kate 'whomps' on [her 955], the better it sounds," reports Glenn Barclay.
