Cher Reve is the product of an on-going love affair with the culturally rich region of South Louisiana known as Acadiana, or more specifically, the magical little city of Lafayette. If New Orleans is the "Big Easy," then Lafayette is certainly the "Little Easier."

It may not be for everyone, but if you are of a certain disposition, it could affect you in ways you might not have imagined - it might even change your life. It's tempting to call this new Miss Tess album "easy listening" because damn, it really is so easy to listen to: laid back, soulful, funky, and addictive... much like the place it was recorded in and inspired by.
