Indianapolis based Blueprintmusic
is the result of a collaboration between two unique and talented
musicians. Singer Kate Lamont and guitarist/banjo player Doug
Sauter have created a style of music that is stripped of the
artifical and steeped in a long history of original American
music. Soulful lyrics collide with bluegrass while progressive
arrangements create a seamless musical landscape that reflects
the past as much as it is relevant to the future.
Kate Lamont has a natural vocal
style that blends jazz, soul, bluegrass and country. Her lyrics
and melodies set stark images against charged emotion. Lamont's
voice slides up and down the scales without the gaudy trills
of the plethora of over-active singers. Her prolific lyrics bridge
the gap from fun to truimphant, to political and pleading, to
heartfelt to heartbreaking.
Doug Sauter creates a colorful
palette of textures with his guitar and banjo virtuosity. Creatively
tuned guitars compliment rich harmonies while delicate finger-style
melodies are spliced into agressively strummed rhythms. Sauter
has taken the banjo from its traditional, homespun heritage and
fits it beautiful into a twenty-first century music world.
Complimented by mandolin, fiddle,
cello, dobro, string bass and unique percussion, Blueprintmusic's
"Ghosts and Eskimos" is a CD of extraordinary soundscrapes
and textures. A refreshing blend of equal parts and tasteful
restraint result in a groundbreaking sound that gives an encouraging
look into the future. It is undoubtedly American music that gains
its strength from the passion and diversity of the musicians
who created it.
