Sophie Ralston a.k.a. Kung Fu Sophie and the Slow Dying Death

 At first glance, one might wonder if she escaped from someone's knick-knack box or the page of a storybook filled with enchanted tales and unpredictable endings. Upon encounter, one may find the magnifying glass obsolete and that she does not fit well into confined spaces. Nobody knows for sure, but it has been speculated that Kung Fu Sophie’s elusive roots were once grounded in the biggest little valley of a distant and dangerously explosive planet. It is believed that Kung Fu Sophie escaped the hostile, arid environment via a quickly constructed, self-made ark suitable for space travel. Fortunately she was able to rescue a guitar, a piano, and her voice. After enduring a long and arduous journey through uncharted territory, Kung Fu Sophie unexpectedly landed on Planet Earth. Since arriving she has been caught live sharing her music in various venues around the globe. Her style is approximated to the earthly likes of Regina Spektor, Inara George, Laurie Anderson, Tori Amos, and Rickie Lee Jones.

"Haunting melodies and catchy phrases clearly set her apart from the "coffee-shop band" stereotype...this musician can electrify or transfix an audience with her words and melodies..." - Rory Dowd, Reno News & Review
