With a sound that’s oddly timeless, both down home and ethereal, and occasionally profound, Blue Dirt Girl continue to refine and expand their approach to ‘modern soul’ in No Street Signs No Straight Lines.

"5 Miles Out '' got stuck in my head,..The last song to do that to me was from a couple or three years ago, maybe more. "5 Miles Out" feels like it's smarter older sister.

The band is in command of their craft. Singer, Kathryn Sutherland, is a stunningly lovely singer and songwriter. Along with the fabulous bass player (Albert) and a new addition, a sax player, who was so intuitive with her playing!

No Street Signs puts its strongest asset up front from the start: Sutherland’s gorgeous voice. It’s strong and nuanced and, like the band’s sound, doesn’t want to fit into a single style. One moment she reminds of classic Dolly Parton, in another she recalls the energetic cries of Grace Slick.

SUNSET DADDY is a journey a philosophical conversation between the guitar and bass. The vocals are an amazing ride through dusty photographs & memories.

Sophisticated sound that is a mix of punk, pop and sensuous jazz. Kathryn Sutherland has an extraordinary voice, passionate yet smooth. A polished ensemble.
