| MORE ON LOREEN..... |
Loreen was born in Columbia, Missouri but grew up in Richland, Washington, the desert part of the
"Evergreen State." (She went to the same high school as country singer, Michael Peterson.) She has
always loved creating and sharing her music with others. Her voice has been described as having a quality
that is "full, soft, and powerful," and her energetic, outgoing personality and guitar playing brings magic to
the stage.
From live theatre, concerts, to film and voice-overs, Loreen's experience in the arts is as varied as her love
of music. If you were to ask Loreen what her favorite kind of music was she would ask "Where should I
start?" From country to classical, rock, pop, jazz, spiritual, and show tunes, she really does love it all. Her
album style?... She went with where her heart really lies...back to her daddy's country roots - though she
was raised in the city, she really does have a country heart.
Loreen Muhlestein became Loreen Bliss in 1994 when she married Timothy Scott Bliss. (So Loreen Bliss
isn't just a stage name! How lucky can she get!?!) Loreen and Tim met in Logan, Utah where they both
received their degrees from Utah State University. Tim graduated in Business and Agriculture Business
and Loreen graduated in Elementary Education with a minor in Music. Tim, a dairy farmer, took Loreen to
the wonderful state of Texas right after graduation where they farmed for a few years before moving back to
Utah. Now, they are once again enjoying that beautiful State and their small town where they own a dairy
and keep very busy raising a twelve year old, ten year old twins, a five year old, and three year old!
Besides being a mom, Loreen still finds time to sing, write, play guitar, piano, ukulele, and bass, act, record,
and perform. Her love of the arts also prompted her to begin and teach a community 4-H Theatre
program. She is an active member of the Pahvant Chapter of the Utah Old Time Fiddlers and Country
Music Association, performing several times a month with them and her twelve year old daughter, and
husband, who are also members. She is also an active member of the Nashville Songwriters Association
International (NSAI). Her strong vocals, outstanding range, and great feel for a song's emotion make her
music one of a kind. Loreen has studied style and technique from Nashville's own celebrity vocal coach
Brett Manning. Loreen's producer, J. Marc Bailey, is a "hard rockin' country boy." When you add music
master Jamie Glaser as arranger, Loreen's debut album promises an unforgettable country sound. If the
holidays keep you hummin' you can't do without the Christmas songs in Loreen's new album "The Perfect
Gift." You'll rediscover old Christmas favorites, find new ones, and with Nashville arranger and guitarist,
Rod Riley (who has played for country greats such as Joe Nichols, Randy Travis, and Tanya Tucker) at the
helm, it's all country!
