The Weepies Review
Talk about a totally unique sound! The Weepies manage to blend the songwriting of two amazing solo singer/songwriters - Steve Tannen and Deb Talan - into one cohesive sound. Their iTunes sales from the their previous release ‘Say I am You’ topped the folk charts in eight countries. Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol nominated them for a Short List Music Prize, and Mandy Moore asked them to write with her and sing on her latest album. They were invited to open for the Indigo Girls and to be apart of last years Hotel Café Tour. You also may have heard The Weepies in JCPenny and Old Navy ads over the holidays last year as well as featured in ABC’s hit drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.
Their latest record HIDEAWAY, is a darker companion to their last album, with 14 new tunes. You can sample new songs on their Myspace page including the Title track ‘Hideaway’ which has that distinct Weepies sound and slick production.
