Album Notes

Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland, and Wendy Waldman are THE REFUGEES, a new band of critically-acclaimed singer-songwriters performing their award-winning and new in glorious three-part harmony with high energy, humor, and stellar musicianship. The Refugees represent an incredible convergence of songwriting and performing talent. Each performs their individual songs accompanied by the other two on guitars, bass, melodica, keyboards, percussion, mandolin, and harmonica, culminating in the creation of new renditions of their exceptional work. They have been described as a female version of Crosby, Stills and Nash with humor. \"The Refugees offer up a terrific combination of engaging, passionate, and poetic songwriting, high-caliber musicianship, and gorgeous vocals. The combined musical pedigree of Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland, and Wendy Waldman is unparalleled. Don\'t even think about missing an opportunity to catch them in concert.\" -- Anil Prasad from Innerviews, Guitar Player and Bass Player “The Refugees: Wow, what a great strength-in-numbers bill this is, with three female singer/songwriters who\'ve each put out very fine albums in their time. We\'re talking Wendy Waldman (a sensitive, piano-pop songcrafter in the league with Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro and Karla Bonoff), Deborah Holland (for several years the voice of the jazzy, post-Police supergroup Animal Logic with Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers and Stanley Clarke, and now a professor at Cal State ), and the fire-burning Cindy Bullens.” – Philadephia Daily News
