With songs that feature soaring melodies, clever acoustic guitar settings, and rich vocal harmonies, it's no wonder that contemporary folk-rock duo ANASTASIA & JOHN count David Crosby and Graham Nash among their growing legion of fans. Drawing from their Midwestern roots, Anastasia & John dig deep beneath the pretty surfaces of their music to deftly examine meaningful issues of real lives, often using moments from their own relationship as a source. Anastasia & John sing original heartfelt songs that combine elements of folk, rock and jazz to create a breezy style that is both intriguing and direct. "Music that is unique, honest, and speaks directly to the heart."
Songwriter JOHN WELBORN opened the night with a short but well received set. Anastasia & John were joined by bass player Jorge Calderón for their set. Anastasia & John's CD, That's You And Me, was probably the most played CD in our home during the 1998 year and the follow-up album Little Man, which came out in late 2001 has also gotten plenty of use.
