JON BYRD & AMELIA WHITE
Musician Pub 16th October 2024
Wednesday night at The Musician Pub was a pure delight in the company of Nashville based songwriters, singers and pickers, AMELIA WHITE and JON BYRD
Amelia & Jon took the stage to play their songs armed only with their guitars and voices... and they delivered them so beautifully.
There is a warmth and respect between the two artists which also communicates easily with the audience creating a lovely warm feeling throughout the room.
The pair took it in turns to sing, and are everything good you would expect from Nashville songwriters... both sing and play superbly and the songs are outstanding... Amelia's songs are often sentimental and personal and her lovely voice and great singing bring out their quality . Jon also sings his own songs, but includes some written by or with friends in Nashville... and they are all pure americana, high class and totally heartfelt. Co-writing has it's hazards... one collaboration left Jon needing to rhyme "Tchoupitoulas’!”... which he did with some aplomb.
Amelia & Jon are long established on the Nashville scene, Amelia known for her " funeral and sad songs" and Jon is pure old school (and that is a complement) Americana, with some critical (but not too critical...) songs included.
The easy banter between the pair, the between song introductions and Jon's storytelling were a perfect complement to the music and contributed fully to creating the wonderful warm friendly atmosphere in the room.
This gig was a true joy... two exceptionally talented musicians working perfectly together in all respects, performing a truly wonderful set... loved every moment...
