Fountain & Vine is the sixth independent CD release for singer, songwriter and actress Sara Niemietz. Produced by W. G. Snuffy Walden, Sara Niemietz and Keb' Mo'; Fountain & Vine is an EP consisting of six original songs.[1]
Description[edit]
Niemietz describes her musical style as, "Popular music with a shadow of blues and the lilt of jazz!"[2] All of the songs on Fountain & Vine are written and performed by Niemietz, co-written with W. G. Snuffy Walden and blues musician Keb' Mo' on several songs. The album was released with a music-video for track four, "Taxi Outside", filmed in and around the Hollywood, California, area with stage performance scenes filmed at the Club 5 Lounge in Los Angeles.[3]
Coinciding with the publication of Fountain & Vine, a collaborative music-video was released on August 20, with Niemietz fronting Postmodern Jukebox's rendition of Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place" (1983), a song which appears on Postmodern Jukebox's Swipe Right for Vintage album.[4] Niemietz performed at the Governor's Ball Emmy Awards after-party on September 20.[1][5] A second collaboration video with Postmodern Jukebox, a cover of "Hey Ya!" (2003) by Outkast, earned a mention in the online version of Time magazine,[6] and for Billboard, Malorie McCall wrote, "Niemetz effortless control and wide vocal range help bring a fullness accompanied by an old fashioned band."[7]
