Diana ObscuraCountry of origin:U.S. Type of music generally:I would best describe her as a mix of evocative/eclectic with folk and ambient thrown in. (Anachro1@pacbell.net) Status:Most recent release, Breath of Nigh (Live at Solomon Projects) (with David Young, 2005) See also:Diana Obscura's Facebook page Comparisons:Caroline Lavelle-meets-Buffy St. Marie-meets-Katell Keineg. (Anachro1@pacbell.net) Covers/own material:Own, versions of early music and traditional songs General comments:Her minimalist style best displays that wonderful, if a bit raw, voice. Of course, she's got this 'Celtic thang' going on, which is sort of the trend these days, but it doesn't diminish her sound. Recommended first album:Diana Obscura is the only one we've heard Recordings:
