("The Kingfield Trio" - Ed Ackerson, Janey Winterbauer, Marc Perlman -
6/22/07 @ 400 Bar, Mpls)
"Janey and Marc" -- aka Marc Perlman and Janey Winterbauer, aka one of the best kept secrets in the Minnesota music scene over the last year -- now have a myspace page up and running after months of furtive activity and under-the-radar live appearances. And, best of all, they've put up four songs; now the world at large can finally hear what the buzz is all about -- beautiful singing, lovely songs and world-class production. Early feedback from a Jayhawks fan site was overwhelmingly positive, along the lines of "wow, where can i buy this?"
Perlman has been working on a "solo project" for...well, let's just say it's been in the works for a long time. Hooking up with Winterbauer (who also sings with Astronaut Wife, Susstones' groovy merchants of electro-cool) and her prodigous vocal talents a few years ago seems to have kick-started this long simmering project to the next level. This launch is an encouraging sign that something solid is getting closer to the light of day.
The last few years have certainly been interesting times for fans of Perlman's former group, the beloved Jayhawks. Tim O'Reagan, Mark Olson and Gary Louris have all been involved in various studio and live projects -- a flurry of activity that is presently ongoing. Hopefully, the coming months will allow ample opportunities for Perlman's light to shine as well. The lucky few who have seen the "Janey & Marc" show and/or "The Kingfield Trio" know just how special this combination of talent is. Now it looks like the rest of the world will soon be able to join in on the party, too.
