Progressive music project Potter’s Daughter (Dyanne Potter Voegtlin) has announced the release of the EP “Weighted Keys” on August 19, 2022!. The band combines art rock, folk and other influences.
“Weighted Keys,” by Potter’s Daughter, is a compilation of renditions of three songs which were dear to Dyanne during three different phases of her life:
- “Night of the Swallow” – a semi-acoustic version of Kate Bush’s dramatic song from her album, “The Dreaming” (from Dyanne’s time in New York City, when she first discovered Kate Bush)
- “Catherine” – a solo piano rendition of Tom Kelly’s elegant song from his album, “Spinning Through Eternity” (from the present time, in honor of Nickie Harte Kelly and the entire progrock community who so warmly welcomed Potter’s Daughter and Octarine Sky)
- “That Song About the Midway” – a semi-acoustic version of Joni Mitchell’s beautiful song from her 1969 album, “Clouds.” (Dyanne first heard the song at age 16, right after joining her first professional band, and has loved the song since)
Potter’s Daughter released its debut album, “The Blind Side,” in August 2018. In 2019 the band released two singles; “Blood and Water,” featuring Annie Haslam (Renaissance) as guest artist, and the holiday single, “This Winter’s Child,” which was composed for the “MRR Holiday” album.
In 2020, they released the EP, “Casually Containing Rage,” and in 2021, they rolled out the single, “Pyrrha’s Song” (featuring drummer Jimmy Keegan), for Nick Katona’s project, Troubleshooting Pandora’s Box.
Last year, Dyanne and bassist/producer Jan Christiana formed the superb progressive rock band, Octarine Sky, and released their debut album, “Close to Nearby,” which featured Simon Phillips, Guthrie Govan, and Amit Chatterjee.
