Tom
Caufield's songwriting and arranging just resonate with
me, so its tough for me to pick favorites out of the
great collection of songs in only 3 albums so far - the
albums are favorites to hear all the way through!
My first listen to the first Caufield album still
reminds me of the experience of hearing and playing to
death the Buckingham Nicks album back in 1974! - Scott
Ericson.
Caufield is an acoustic,
male-female harmony duo. Caufield's music is based
around the songs of singer-songwriter Tom Caufield.
A big fan of
Jackson Browne and
James Taylor, Tom,
originally from Michigan, started out in music playing
in bar bands around the mid-west, most notably as a
member of Ohio's The Raisins, who went on to become
Adrian
Belew's Bears. In 1987, Tom was signed to
Passport records, and released a solo album "Long
Distance Calling." Soon after, he moved to Los
Angeles and was signed to the publishing firm Wild Pink
Music, who have placed his songs in a wide variety of
network television programs, including "Felicity," "One
Life To Live," "The Young & The Restless," "Summerland"
and many others.. In 2002, Tom met singer Maureen
Doherty, and asked her to sing support harmony for him
on his solo gigs. The audiences loved their
harmony sounds, so they decided to develop a set of
music together using the harmony approach, and released
their debut CD "Falling Short of Utopia" in 2005.
At then end of 2005, Maureen decided to pursue her solo
career, and Tom found German born singer Yasmin
Tanriverdi after conducting a search through Craig's
List. Yasmin Tanriverdi, originally from
Pirmasens, Germany, has been singing professionally
since the age of 14.
