Sucumbio

 

When asked, "How would you describe your music?" Graham Booth aka Sucumbio replied:

"There is everything. And nothing. One's expression must be flavored by all that it is not. This leaves much unsaid, but... I can promise this: honesty about the self is at the heart of everything you see and hear.

Music and expression are fundamental. Picturesque ... landscapes of emotion can only be harnessed for moments at a time. We live for those moments, really. The piano has always been my canvas of choice; such an immediate response to this... everything. Sounds blend together in life to create a life of its own and this is my fascination."

Twice awarded finalist in the VH-1 Save the Music Foundation sponsor Song of the Year Contest, Graham Booth has earned the confidence and support of fans and music industry professionals alike with his passionate song writing and devotion to precision and quality. Tracks from his debut album The Perfect Time, released late 2005, have commanded the respect and admiration of listeners from around the world.

"Thanks to the digital age electronica fans from around the globe have had the chance to experience Sucumbio, whose background in classics, jazz and composition lend a great deal of power to their thoughtful and penetrating melodies and harmonies. At the heart of the music can be felt a stirring quality of motion, a driving force that cannot - will not be squelched. When added together this total package promises a journey that does not disappoint."

Dede Booth started her journey into music by way of a practice pad and the thunderous reverberations of a simulated bass drum (her bed.) Adding her intuitive rhythms to her older brother's pianistic resulted in endless creation. As time went on and Graham moved to college, Dede began to explore her interest in other instruments.

"I'm a drummer, first."

Ok, Dede.

But, despite her affluence with percussion this has not served to impede her progression as a musician, rather it has encouraged it to grow. She started with guitar work, mainly electric, then to acoustic.

A recently graduated music industry major, Dede continues to work on and perform several varieties of music. Her collaborative efforts with Sucumbio may be challenged by 1000 miles distance to the Gulf Coast, but thanks be, that hasn't stopped them from writing together.


Bridget Booth swears that she's not a singer, but our ears tell us different. Also a writer and photographer she continues to probe our intellects, while capturing the moments of our lives.


James Verlinde hails from Gautier, MS and has found the liberating effects of musical expression through his guitar work.
