Jade Raven

Jade Raven is an original pop/rock trio from Kansas City, MO headed by female vocalist/guitarist Holly King. Jade Raven's simplicity and uplifting melodies are an instant success at first listen. Eric Cornwell, lead guitariist at heart turned bass player, meshes with drummer Allen Hiegert to provide a fresh foundation to carry King's solid songwriting.

Jade Raven is three years new... playing a variety of area concerts each month and consistently expanding their fanbase. Now at the verge of the age 21, the secret is out. No longer limited to all-ages venues, their unique style is catching the Midwest by storm.

Influences include Weezer, Veruca Salt, and Fiona Apple. Some critics hear an immediate similarity to the Go-Go's (largely due to Holly's Carlysle-esque vocal delivery), but the similarity is pure coincidence.

Jade Raven's first full-length album, "In the Dark" hit the street September 26th of 2000. You can check it out now at area stores Streetside Records, Recycled Sounds, and the Music Exchange, the Listening Roomand Kief's Music. Click here for a review.
