about

In 2008 I planned a coffee house tour of California. I really wanted to add something to my set that would raise eyebrows and get an American audience talking. Rhianna's 'Umbrella' had been a huge hit a year prior so I boldly stripped the song down to nothing and added twinkly piano and swelling strings.

I've been overwhelmed by the response to this song, especially winning and Independent Music Award for it in 2010. People who disliked the original have found something to like in my version, the lyrics are so sweet and the chords are so simple. I still love playing this live.
