Like all great songwriters/storytellers, Maurice Tani uses humor, pathos, and metaphor (he loves that word!) to spin tales of sometimes heroic, sometimes conniving, seductive and/or hapless characters. Characters deep in the throes of urban/country angst, unrequited love, love affairs gone wrongin a nutshellcountry noir.
A master of clever lyrics and gorgeous melodies that make for ear-worms almost impossible to dismiss, Maurices warm powerful voice animates the songs into a kind of technicolor experience.
He has been reviewed in No Depression, and Acoustic Guitar Magazines, and played famous stages such as The Freight & Salvage and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.
Jamie Purnells award-winning musical storytelling takes his audiences on an emotional journey. Kate Campbell has labeled Jamies songwriting voice authentic, adding He doesnt sound like hes trying to be good. He just is.
For over twenty-five years, Jamie has honed his musical vocabulary to infuse his character-driven narratives in just the right finger style guitar groove and warm tenor vocal melody. With two albums released and another coming soon, Jamie has received praise from fans and industry veterans all around the world.
The vivid nature of Jamies lyrical and musical style, often lends itself to collaborative multi-media projects. Jamie is currently working with illustrator Nicole Taylor to produce his first full-color childrens book, Proud Penguin, which is slated for release in 2017.
Based on one of Jamies most popular tunes, Proud Penguin is a feel-good tale of penguin whose picture of himself changes after an encounter with a seagull. With lush illustrations and few surprises, this book is sure to delight audiences from 1 to 99. The recording of Proud Penguin, the song, was recently selected as a semi-finalist for the International Songwriting Competition.
Jamie has shared stages over the years with such singer-songwriter luminaries as Brendan James, Kristen Hall, Jonathan Byrd, Jim Bruno, Maurice Tani, Aireene Espiritu, and Wes Collins. Jamie has played festivals, clubs, parades, music stores, and radio and TV programs from Carolina to California.
