Биография

Peach and Quiet, is a partnership in music, romance and life from the lushly forested and rocky shores of Pender Island, just off Canada's west coast. This duo of Heather Read and Jonny Miller have released their first album, Just Beyond the Shine. It is chock full of love songs, mostly written to each other, an assertion that love can get us through these dark times of pandemic and social distance, a positive ray of hope. As one of the tracks on the album proclaims, they are "lucky in love," and listeners will be fortunate to share the warmth that they offer. It's hard to believe that it was only in 2019 that Heather and Jonny found each other, emotionally, spiritually and musically. The discovered quickly the joy of singing together, which extended into songwriting. They both have the gift of poetic sensibility and abstraction that give birth to such lines as "Open me slowly, and you will find. Eternal darkness and infinite light." Somehow Heather's crystal clear voice blends seamlessly with Jonny's slightly gritty "character" vocals to a sound that is greater than the parts. Top musicians such as Steve Dawson, Adam Dobres and Jeremy Holmes were recruited, and the result is a gem of Americana, folk rock and country, with whining steel guitar that could have graced George Jones and Tammy Wynette albums and vocal harmonies that bring to mind Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. The album was mixed by Steve Dawson at Henhouse Studio in Nashville. Written by Mike Sadava
