I have to write about my influences. Uff…difficult thing. Ok, I’ll try.
At home, in Spain, I grew up listening all kinds of music…Country (Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson…) SouthAmerican and Latino stuff, Jazz Standards…then, my choice…John Denver, Carole King, Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Wonder, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt… and James Taylor…always James Taylor…then and now…always.
I started to play the guitar when I was 13, so I used to play folk stuff…John Denver, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and so. Then, much later, I started to sing for people and was pretty eclectic. I chose mainly the songs I wanted to sing…Jazz Standards, folk, pop…later I sang with a blues and soul group. Two electric guitars, bass, keyboard and drums. That was a lot of noise and a lot of fun. Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt, Robben Ford stuff. Then I learned to sing.
After that, I had a Jazz trio, with a guitar and a bass. Standards and Boleros.
And then I came to America and I found Augie, a finger style guitar player….a really talented one. And here we are, doing pretty much what we want to…Jazz, Latino stuff, Country…everything with our personal touch. We really love what we do.
