Yup.  Wendy MaHarry is her name and she has Two releases.  Her firsT
release came ouT spring of '90 and was called "Wendy MaHarry". 
Her laTesT release came ouT, oh, I'd say liKe a monTh ago and
I am blanKing on The name.  She herself is from California and is
a KeyboardisT.  She Tends To mix acousTic sounds wiTh elecTronic
ones quiTe well.  Did you find her voice breaThy?  Nasal?  I
have a hard Time describing iT, excepT To say ThaT iT is powerful
clean, and rich.

I saw her live in The summer of '90 when she opened for The
Blue Nile (in Their incredible 5-show only Tour -- firsT, lasT,
and only Time They will ever play live).

I ThinK ThaT KaTe fans would acTually enjoy her worK quiTe a biT.  She
mixes beTween quieT ballads and pop-Type Things wiTh a loT of
syncopaTion.  Oh gee, I am having a Terrible Time describing This, buT
Then again, iT *is* 2:30 in The morning in The midsT of "finals".

Hope This helps,
