"Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up" to be released March 16, 2009

(Austin, TX – February 18, 2009) Vanessa Peters & Ice Cream on Mondays, new release Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up, is co-produced with Salim Nourallah (The Old ‘97s), and shines with a blend of rootsy pop jangle and country noir.

Vanessa Peters is at home everywhere she goes - an essential trait for a wandering gypsy songwriter, and her music reflects the influences of growing up in Texas as much as it reflects how her music has matured out on the road, performing over 250 shows in 10 countries and releasing three albums in the last three years. Together with Manuel Schicchi (lead guitar, harmonies), Vanessa (vocals, acoustic guitar) has toured throughout the US and performed at some of the best venues in Europe: Folk Club in Torino (IT), Roepean in Ottersum (NL), Mono in Oslo, and Electro-Acoustic in London.

Like its predecessor Little Films, Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up is something of a concept album, taking fairy tales and myths and putting a modern spin on them, giving voice to such characters as Odysseus, Penelope, The Sirens, the Wicked Witch of the West, and others.

Their 2009 touring will take them across America and Canada and back to Europe as well, where they will focus on Italy, the Benelux, Germany, Scandinavia, and the UK.
