We’re suckers for new music…tried and true suckers. And you don’t have to be on a big label (or ANY label), play big venues, or have an elaborate show for us to take a liking to you. You just have to have good music. Such is exactly the case for The Jir Project.
We ran into Jir a while ago in downtown Albuquerque–there he was up on the stage with his guitar, and that guitar was singing. It was sweet, powerful, really moving and he had an extraordinary sound. A couple of weeks ago we caught his show and once again we were struck by this talented musician. It was him, a guitar, and some of his friends up on a small stage. And once again that guitar sang for us… a small crowd was there when he started, but a large crowd was there by the time he was done, and the spell he put on the place was something to behold and be a part of. Jir simply gets up on the stage, plugs in his guitar and the next thing you know the house lights are coming up for some reason and you are sad because the music stopped. We see a lot of shows, and very few of them move us like Jir’s did. He plays for the love of playing, and that shows through. And when it is solo time, he heads off into his own world (and we’re right there with him) and the magic truly happens.
What? Did you think we wouldn’t run him for you? Of course we are! He was kind enough to give us a CD (yeah, like we gave him a choice in the matter) and so we’ve got a cut for you. Remember, this guy is out there making the music happen for the love of music, so the CD might not be mastered as well as a group with the means to do so, but the music shines through despite that. From his EP, Keep It Flowin’, we’re running the title cut, Keep It Flowin’
This is what music is all about! Heart and soul, passion and love of it. And The Jir Project has that and so much more! If you’re anywhere around Albuquerque when he is playing, stop by and catch his show. You’ll understand what we mean by making his guitar sing then.
Keep it Flowin’!
As always,
Enjoy
