    • ]]>     MayerPostCFLTop5After the last Orlando Tweet-up I started following the excellent locally focused work of Central Florida Top 5.  Through their tweets and timely content Kam and I have been able to catch some truly unique events around town. Their editor, Bess, has done a great job keeping the wheels spinning over there pumping out great content.  To “share the love” I posted a review of our recent trip down to Tampa for the John Mayer concert.  Pop on over to Top 5’s blog page to catch the full story.  Cheers.

    • ]]>     JubalsKinTrioAs many of you know my favorite place to study is at the Winter Park Library.  Well during my studying for finals I saw a flyer for a free Christmas concert put on by Jubal’s Kin.  Surprise surprise surprise.  These were the three young musicians that Julie Norris had on Front Porch Radio either the week before or after I was on.

    Being a lover of traditional Bluegrass, roots and gospel I put these three on my radar the second I heard them on the radio.  They have a great sound and their take on the genre is fresh and inspiring.  So….we made it a point as a family to drop into the Library today to catch their show.  We had a front row seat and our daughter was clapping away enraptured by the sound of live acoustic music.

    I’ve cut together a little video that I shot with the Flip to give you guys an idea about the kind of music Jubal’s Kin plays.  The trio was joined today by three other musicians, but their core group is made up of siblings Roger, Gailanne and Jeffrey Amundsen ages 21,15 and 11 respectively.

    They’ve got a fair few awards under their belt already and with an engaging stage presence, some hot licks and a wonderful synergy, I expect great things from these young musicians.  It is always a pleasure to discover new music, but when it is in your own backyard is that much sweeter.
