Parachute is the new album from Mandy Rowden, her fourth, and the second on the Howlin’ Dog Records label.
Mandy is a musical dynamo, who has not only followed her muse as a full-time singer-songwriter and bandleader, but also started the hugely successful Girl Guitar school of music, helping hundreds of other women to find their voice and expression through music.
All of her rich background of life and musical experience has come to full bloom in this tour de force latest release "Parachute", where she masterfully plays all the instruments (other than the bass and drums rhythm section) and covers all the vocals throughout the album, in arrangements that range from beautiful acoustic ballads to driving rockabilly to Beatle-esque layering of complex vocals and intertwined violin, guitar and keyboard textures. "With Parachute, Mandy has really stepped fully into her own place of power as a songwriter, co-producer, vocalist, instrumentalist and arranger, and as a force to be reckoned with in music overall", says Don Richmond of Howlin' Dog.
