Barbara & Terry Brunette - Rock/Jazz/Blues/Pop

Long Island, New York - Singer/Songwriter/Musician - Barbara Brunette, originally born in Brooklyn, New York, started performing in her teens as Lead Guitarist/Lead Singer in cover Bands on Long Island, playing Pubs, Bars and Private Parties and making a name for herself, but Life intervened, and she had to take a Hiatus.In 2007, she was asked by a friend to do an 'open mic' at a local Coffeehouse in Lindenhurst, New York. The response to her music was SO POSITIVE, that she threw caution to the wind, and decided to start performing again, but this time doing her original material, and some cover songs. Well, that was to be the rekindling of her lifelong passionate Love Affair with Music all over again.Barbara has composed over 80 songs, to date, in many different styles. She loves music with a 'Blues' flavor, as well as Rock, Jazz, Pop, Country, and Traditional Ballads - amongst others. Barbara says: "I love almost ALL kinds of Music, and hopefully, that is reflected in my original material".*Barbara's uncompromising Passion for Music/Guitar - has elevated to a status, where she is being asked to do STUDIO GUITAR WORK for other Musicians, and she is a very knowledgeable and expert SOUND ENGINEER as well. She is a GIFTED LEAD GUITARIST as well as RHYTHM GUITARIST, and comes up with Unusual Leads and Arrangements for just about ANY Style/kind of Music.As a result of her many Musical Talents - she has been asked to join a Band and tour - but she prefers to work on her own material and does Musical and Sound Engineering Studio Work.*She has recently, along with Terry, collaborated with The Emma Zale Band, who has opened up for BLUE OYSTER CULT, STEPPENWOLF, EDGAR & JOHNNY WINTER, DAVE MASON, amongst others. One of the songs of this particular Band, has been picked up by Willie Nelson - due to be recorded later on this year. So, it's been a an AWESOME HONOR & PRIVILEGE to have been asked to perform as a Guest with them!Living on Long Island, New York, Barbara is beginning to build a broad Fan-Base. She is expanding Musically, into other areas on Long Island, and, of course, beyond. She has received very enthusiastic responses from her International Fans and is continuing to reach out to as many of them as she can.Barbara has recorded her first Album of original songs, released through 'ParrotOx Productions', in her small but functional Digital Recording Studio. She has just started work on her second album, in collaboration with her mysterious Musical and very Talented Cohort - Terry, and the CD is expected to be released by late 2009.Very Artistcally inclined, Barbara has done the orignal abstract painting for her first album with 'hidden clues' in its meaning. Many of her paintings are displayed in her home. Photography is also among her many varied interests.Terry - is the sometimes reclusive, but always enigmatic and hauntingly mysterious figure in this Musical Parnership. She sometimes prefers to stay in the Background. She has a Passionate Obsession for all things Musical and ALL things Creative and Mind-Bending! With her velvety, resonant, haunting Background Vocals and intricate Harmonies, she adds great depth to Barbara's deep, Bluesy voice and unique musical stylings. Terry is very musically gifted, having composed a Classical 'Etude in D-Minor' and a very clever Baroque piece for Piano, and other original songs on Guitar. Terry does all the Vocal Arrangements for Harmony and has co-written a few songs with Barbara as well. Terry plays Guitar, Harmonica and other 'unorthodox' musical instruments such as Recorder, Accordion, and does Cuban-style percussion. She is also a gifted Writer and published Poet and has been bestowed an International Award for her Poetry and is included in a Collection an American Anthology of Poetry. And all this enriches this Musical Jambalaya. She is also a member of the very ecelctic and amazing EMMA ZALE BAND. She has been asked to tour with the Band, and go to Nashville, but for now, prefers to stay in New York and work on her own Projects and with her Duo consisting of Barbara and herself.Being a talented Artist as well, Terry created and designed the Logo for ParrotOx Productions, and revels in doing very strange and Outre' Art, perhaps even showcasing her Bizarre Art in a SoHo Gallery someday. Terry is also the Designer/Creator and Manager of this Website. She LOVES working and creating Web Designs that are Unusual and Distinctive! She is currently composing/arranging her own Music, some of which may be featured on the upcoming CD, and is writing an Autobiographical Book with Audio CD - full of original Poetry, Readings, Artwork and original Background Music. Her passion for Music ranges from Baroque, Medieval-Renaissance, Jazz, Blues Rock, Pop to New Wave/New Age, Goth, Punk, Thrash and International - ESPECIALLY FLAMENCO and TANGO!!! She is a 'Blithe Spirit' and a TRUE Bohemian and feels to the very depths of her core, that Music, is without a doubt - The Universal Language, that breaks down all Barriers.
