From the "Live at Daryl's House" series of in-house jam sessions - where at lot of big time players show up - here's Diane Birch...
(yes, Daryl is Daryl Hall of Hall and Oats)
Well, there's an instantly familiar voice - Daryl Hall, that is. I hadn't heard of Diane Birch.
I like the fender rhodes sound on the above performance. I also like the harmonies.
Diane Birch definitely has a distinctive voice. She's tuneful, too, live, it seems.
I read that Diane Birch combines influences from doo-wop and soul with other styles. 'Nothing But a Miracle' is also definitely heavily influenced by 1970s middle-of-the-road. It sounds more 1970s than 2000s, which, I think, is a very good thing.
I enjoyed the performance.
