Lauded and award-winning singer/songwriter,
Lisa Sniderman, aka: Aoede (pronounced A-E-D), released her third full-length
album and overall fifth release,
Is Love A Fairy Tale?, on September 18, 2012.
Is Love A Fairy Tale?,comes just a few short months after the release of
her acclaimed Skeletons of the Muse (April 2012), which shot her
to #2 on Reverbnation's San Francisco pop chart and #39 on the national chart.
Fans of Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor,
Feist, Lily Allen and A Fine Frenzy resonate with Aoede's prodigal
and passionate songwriting skills that synergistically blend melody and lyric
into compellingly captivating musical vignettes conveyed in her imitable
breathy, bouncy, and enchantingly quirky soprano.
Aoede has garnered numerous accolades for
her music, developed a popular blog, engaged fans through social media,
participated in national motivational speaking engagements where she offers
support, advice, and encouragement, and won multiple songwriting awards,
including the 2012 Artists in Music Awards Album of the Year for Affair
with the Muse, and Best Folk/Acoustic Artist.
In April 2012, Indie Music Channel awarded
Aoede Best Female Folk Artist and Best Folk Producer; the 2012 LA Music
Awards nominated Aoede for Hot ACArtist of the Year, Record of
the Year, and Female Singer-Songwriter, and Aoede has been nominated in the
2013Artists in Music Awards.
Is Love A Fairy Tale? already received three prestigious Children’s Awards:Creative
Child Magazine’s “Preferred Choice Award”; “Sterling Fun” from Tillywig Toy
Awards, and Family Review Center’s “Gold Award.” Is Love A Fairy Tale?
is being considered for Best Children’s Album in the 55th
Annual Grammy Awards.
“I found this collection quite interesting.
It was almost like listening to a musical. Each track had some narration and
some music but the Is Love A Fairy Tale? CD makes one continuous story. I would
say that the story itself is good for pre-teens and would be especially
appealing to girls. It talks about a young woman in search of love. She’s not
sure what it is or how to find it. She looks lots of places and meets lots of
interesting creatures in the mystical land where she lives. In the end we learn
that ‘love is whatever you want it to be’ and is ‘the greatest thing of all’.” Kerrific Online
"How fun! I really enjoyed this "audio book". It flows warmly,
intertwining music, narration and leading questions, which take you in to the
story line with a pre-set stage for what you are about to embark on. Between
the sound effects and excellent narration, you can visualize the story well, as
you walk along with the characters you will meet on the way. I love to put
these on in the car when going for a drive ... everyone can relax and enjoy the
story together. Then, when we stop for a bite to eat, we have something to talk
about - the story! This is a well produced audio CD and I know you will enjoy
it. Reading is awesome - I love to read! However, sometimes reading is not
practical or inviting, which are the times you want something such as this to
kick back and enjoy. Great for children ages 9-14 but I think all ages will
enjoy the fun tale." Family Review Center (GOLD AWARD)
“Aoede (Lisa Sniderman) has a fizzy,
fancy-free persona conveyed with a hint of Brit-ness a la Lilly Allen... charming ukulele fueled Love Proof whose quaint simplicity and deft vocal
harmonies recall the Ditty Bops. This artist has a unique spirit.” Music Connection Magazine
“Aoede's refreshing
vocals that float effortlessly over her uplifting productions bring a smile to
every face… Skeletons of the Muse features some undeniably stand out tracks including 'Love Proof' and 'Fairytale Love' and contribute to an outstanding production of
Music that showcases how different and unique this artist is, a rare talent
that has shown consistency and versatility throughout her output paving the way
for a bright and expanding future.” The BizzNiz
“Easily relatable to
anyone with that care-free easygoing love of music…The music of Aoede is purely
meant to uplift the soul and put a smile in your heart. It is no wonder that
Aoede has been receiving acclaim across the board within the music industry
already, because no one should be without a smile in their heart.” L. White R.S.M Promotions; Skope Magazine
"Aoede spreads the
inspiration she carries within her to whatever she does… Her radiant soprano
voice mingles with her own quirky brand of DIY pop and heartfelt, powerful
lyrics." Trina Carré, Fourculture: issue two
“For AOEDE, you cannot
tag her as a single genre artist, in fact, it is much harder to pin her down in
one category, because her music is outside any realm of typical categories.
Instead, put her in your "Popular" playlist and hit repeat often,
because if you enjoy music by Regina Spektor, and Feist,
Ingrid
Michaelson then you will
definitely enjoy AOEDE.” Mikey Jay, The Great Unknowns Presents
“Poppy, upbeat,
heartfelt, passion-filled, talented – those are just some words one might use
to describe Aoede.” MarsBands Reviews
“Once every blue moon,
the universe is blessed with the laughter of an angel. There may be a blue moon
for awhile because the musical vibe of Aoede encompasses that angelic sound.
Beyond the voice, there is inspirational songwriting and a metaphysical
presence within every note… Her story is as compelling as her willingness to
share it with the world.” Independent Music and Media
“One of the fun things
about diving into a sea of mostly DIY music is “discovering” an unsigned artist
who could be the next big thing. At the very least, it’s easy to find more than
a few folks who are going to have exciting careers which I will enjoy
following. One is San Francisco area singer/songwriter Aoede (Lisa Sniderman,
who also has a bitchin’ blog). With a vocal style similar to Feist or Fiona
Apple, her songs are more lush and ornate than either.” Walking on a Wire-Artist of the Week
“Bringing pop worthy
hooks together with alt rock instrumentation and smoky production...” Massive Music
“It is a story-telling,
magic-making kind of music… her vocals add a lightness, a radiance that dances
on the edges of the music itself. It’s like the halo on an angel, the
shimmering light on a firefly’s back.” San Francisco Voice

Mike was born and raised in Connecticut,
but settled in sunny San Diego in 1998. He began writing music in the mid 90's
just to pass the time while he was traveling throughout the US as a Computer
Programmer/Analyst - Consultant. Always a quick learner, he also taught himself
how to play the guitar while on the road.
After Mike settled on the West Coast, he started performing at local coffee
houses and open mics a few times a month beginning in August, 2005. Since then,
he has expanded his performing schedule to the point of playing 2, 3, even 4
times per week all over San Diego county.
Mike plays at many of San Diego's premier Wineries, Resorts, and Restaurants.
He can also be seen performing at San Diego's yearly County Fair, random Street
Fairs, and a few local Bar & Grills. He is also hired to play many Private
Events, Corporate Events and weddings throughout the year.
In August of 2012, Mike was voted Runner-Up in the Channel 10 San Diego's A-List
in the Wedding Category for Best Music.
Mike’s sound has been described as that of Jack Johnson’s laid back soothing
style, but if you ask him he'll say "I really have no idea. I've been
influenced by so many different artists. I can't put my finger on it. You tell
me!"
Let's just say a little surf / meets folk / meets rock / meets pop.
Mike's first cd 'Keep On' was self-released at the end of 2006. After a few
years of performing and promoting his first project throughout San Diego, he
also wrote and recorded 12 new songs. His second cd 'Enjoy the Journey' was
self-released in 2009.
As he continues to perform locally and throughout California, he also continues
to write. Mike plans on recording and releasing singles throughout 2013 via
YouTube and/or digital media.
