Here’s a treat just for YOU.
Before all the noise and clutter of the music streaming industry, real talent stood out in clearer relief. It’s gotten harder to ferret out a good sound in the electronic jungle. And performers must work much harder to get noticed and make money. But every once in a while, you just trip over something cool.
Ron turned me on to this duo last week. He said they’d be at the Ingleside Winery on Sunday. I’m glad we went to see them. This is one of the guitarist’s bands. His name is Tim Bray. He’s got a toolbox of sounds and rhythms he can produce on strings. But the headliner in this ensemble is Karen Jonas.
As soon as the show started, I wondered what the hell they were doing playing the winery circuit. Karen (I should say she is drop dead gorgeous and very sweet) came out with her rendition of some old standards. Her version of Joline is superior to Dolly’s. Sorry Parton fans. But the lyrics don’t fit a yippee-ki-yay kind of beat.
She also has a catalog of her own pieces that are catching on with fans around the world. Karen and Tim have played all over the country and around the world. They have a following and sell their music.
And now, thanks to Ron and the P4B, you have tripped over them.
I have embedded some of their work below the audio line. So, take a break. Lean back and relax. Enjoy the sound. Cheers.
