BEVERLY GRAHAM
With the release of her sixth album project "Guardian" Northwest Recording artist Beverly Graham takes us once again to the edge of controversy. Her skills as a songsmith are excellent and continue to expand with life experience and the writing in "guardian" is innovative, thought provoking, sometimes disturbing, and energetic. Her vocals are first rate and her harmonies are haunting and imaginative. Instrumentally superb and the drum piece 'into the ether' is a pleasant and complex surprise.
Since 1989, as the founder of OPERATION: Sack Lunch, a meal provider program for the homeless and working poor of Seattle, Beverly has raised awareness, thousands of volunteers, and much-needed funds as an inspirational speaker and performer. Beverly was the 1997 recipient of the prestigious National American Institute of Public Service "Jefferson Award" for her humanitarian work. In 1998 she was inducted as a "Giraffe" in The Giraffe Project, an international program that recognizes people around the world who "stick their necks out for the common good". Beverly was honored as the "Woman of Distinction for 2001 and has received several other community based awards and nominations for service, inspiration, and as a peacemaker. She consistently romances her audiences and feedback from performances reflect Beverly's efficacy and talent:
* "she made herself extremely vulnerable and took risks in a very tough setting - what a reminder that one person can make a difference"
* "powerful beyond words"
* "tears, compassion, commitment, courage - she has it all"
* "she was truly inspiring"
* "her music speaks to my soul"
* "the message her music shares is something we all need to hear".
* "Haunting and Sassy!"
* "a meteorite! How one person can pack so much into life is amazing"
An article by Dan Fuller states;
"standing less than five feet tall, she is a giant to thousands of people who have been touched by her talent and compassion".
