Waiting for the Rain

$5.94 AUD

Zerafina has created an album of finely crafted, soulful songs. Her creative force has been shaped with inspirational production by Peter Luscombe(Paul Kelly, Rockwiz), and mentoring by U.S. songwriting guru Pat Pattison (John Mayer, Gillian Welch,) and Steve Seskin

The album has already attracted comparisons to k.d. lang and Lucinda Williams. Music luminaries fill the track listing credits, with Jonathon Zion (Pete Murray) and Bill McDonald (Paul Kelly, Neneh Cherry) notable contributors to bass duties.

Zerafina shines playing guitar, piano and brings her stunning, soaring vocals to her self-penned tracks.
