Pi's 4th album

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Pi is set to release her fourth album, Fire Horse Girl, through indie label TCC Music on October 13, 2009. Collaborating with veteran producer/ engineer Randy Wine (U2, Bruce Springsteen), Fire Horse Girl evokes the whispers of great 70’s singer-songwriters, yet its approach and lyrics are completely fresh. With over 40 film and TV placements, Pi – a smoky alto – has been heard on such networks as MTV, Oxygen, and Nickelodeon. To celebrate the new release, Pi will embark on a mini bi-coastal tour this fall. She’ll perform in NYC on September 23rd and has three California dates scheduled in October: Ventura – 10/3, S.F. – 10/10, L.A. – 10/17. Read the rest of this entry »
