Paula supports Josh with harmony vocals and keys - she performs lead vocals 
as well with a style reminiscent for Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Patsy 
Cline with a fun bluesy edge.

March 07, 2014 Brian McKenzie

Brian is a singer songwriter who takes elements of the country/roots blend 
of Americana and adds his clean, smooth vocal style to create a sound once 
described by a club owner as "Ameri-Crooner". He draws on influences that 
range from recent artists such as Chris Isaak, Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and 
Glen Phillps to classic voices like Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Elvis Presley, 
Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. Rather than simply emulate these artists and styles, however, Brian blends them together like a cocktail shaker would seamlessly meld separate ingredients into a cohesive, well mixed drink that you can easily get lost in. - See more t:http://brianmckenzie.com/
