Singer & Songwriter.

Over the many years since she wrote her first songs as a teenager, Rj Cowdery experienced a topsy turvy lifetime of stops and starts, with exciting creative breakthroughs followed by distractions and obligations that took her away from her lifelong dream of being a professional singer/songwriter. The Columbus, Ohio based folk artist, who first developed a regional following in the mid-90s with her breakthrough album "Bernie's Daughter," has been making up for lost time this past year, receiving major accolades at some of the most prestigious folk festivals in the U.S. and now releasing her highly anticipated, heartfelt debut album One More Door.

A compelling gathering of 13 songs, One More Door— a title very much reflective of the exciting promise of her current career good fortune -- was recorded live in only two days in Parkersburg, West Virginia (near Belpre, Ohio, the town she grew up in) with percussionist Ammed Solomon and guitarist Michael Lipton, who are both band members with International Public Radio's Mountain Stage. The sessions for the recording, which were produced by renowned singer-songwriter Todd Burge, also features the stellar bass playing of Don Dixon, a veteran singer, songwriter, musician and producer of such pop icons as R.E.M., Marti Jones, Kim Carnes, Hootie & The Blowfish and Marshall Crenshaw.
