Anne Mironchik has been described as “Carole King, with some extra swing!” Anne’s music is reminiscent of your favorite hits of the 70s & 80s. She is a vocalist, pianist, composer and lyricist with a conservatory degree in jazz and roots in rock, blues, R&B and country. Her shows include her original songs and some well-known jazz standards. Her well-crafted songs mix the simplicity and soul of Carole King’s melodies with the R&B spirit of Laura Nyro’s chords and rhythms. Weaving in lyrics that are sensible, without being sentimental, she never misses a toe-tappin’ beat as she explores the struggles, loves, fears and joys of everyday heroes.
Jonathan Vecci’s way of perceiving the world, sorting things out, and conveying and expressing emotions and feelings is through music. To him it’s like breathing. It’s what makes sense in my world. And that’s something that is not likely to change any time soon. Love breathes life into whats dead or stale, and love conquers all evil. It’s through things like music and art that the good word and feeling of love is spread into and throughout all of existence. – It’s been, shall I say, a privilege of mine, to have the ability to observe the fact that all of life is art. Everything you see and feel and touch was created and is therefore art in its purest form. We, therefore, are artists as well, acting out scenarios and creating artistic “moments”.
