Louisiana-bred Micki Fuhrman comes by her chops honestly. She grew up in a home
with a perpetual soundtrack of classic country including Ray Charles, Jim Reeves and
Tammy Wynette. By the age of seven she was singing in her grandmother's rural
church...at thirteen she joined a contemporary Christian band and by fifteen was
headlining Shreveport's venerable "Louisiana Hayride." She recorded for MCA and
Word Records, becoming one of the earliest artists to span both secular and Christian
markets. Micki garnered guest spots on "The Grand Ole Opry" and toured with several
major artists.
BACK PORCH TORCH is a collection of songs that read
like a Louisiana road map. She takes you to small town gas stations and big city jazz
clubs, roadside churches and cold prison cells, late night laundramats and Civil War
cottonfields. Her voice slides from swanky to swampy in one breathless heartbeat.
