Síofra is Changeling's first album. Originally recorded in 1994 as a demo, we had so much fun recording it that we added a few tracks in 1995 and released it as a shortie CD in January, 1996.
Recorded at the Audio Workshop in Cincinnati, Ohio with Roger Cadle at the knobs and sliders, Síofra has the great charm and spark and a few of the rough edges that come from the days when young musicians learn about the studio. It has been praised for its warm feeling, energy and musicality. Everyone's consistent favorites are "Johnny Cope" and "Tripping Up The Stairs."
Síofra is a Gaelic word, and means "Changeling". It's pronounced "SHOW-fra." No, its not terribly original. :-)
Síofra is currently out of print, but we're working on making it available as a downloadable album. Stay tuned!
