Jenny Brooklin

Garage195:
Eclectic folk jazz blues rock band. Exiled to the garage from the first day of practice.
Dirk Ouellette – Lounge blues jazz vocals that will rip out your heart. Don’t get anywhere near him; he vibrates with a dangerous metaphysical frequency. We give him a bass every once in a while to ground him.
Shelley Okepnak – Drummings from the punk past. Wicked sticks. Inscrutable. As Zen as you can get and still smack hard objects together.
Rorry Dunbar – The band’s resident gear master who admits to having grown up by feeding on AM radio broadcast waves in the 70s and 80s. Guitars and vocals. Has the keys to the garage.
Arnie Bell – visual artist – he had a pretty bass so we let him join the band after he promised to behave.
Linda Ruedrich – Guest artist, belts it out.

Jimena De Miguel:
The music Jimena plays travels through many moods. She loves lyrics and the effectiveness they have to express a moment, feeling, idea. She has been playing the guitar for three years and it has proven to be as addictive to her as music itself.

Christian Nally
A guitar and banjo were kicking around the house when I was growing up. So was some vinyl for Pet Sounds, Rumours, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, BMOC, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, ABBA’s Greatest Hits. You get the idea.
My first ever date with a girl was going out to U2’s Movie “Rattle and Hum”.
I play some of those things, with a smattering of pop from later decades. Oh… I like it when I can hit a groove singing. Playing guitar is just something for my hands to do while I’m dancing around my living room during my alone time.

Pages from the Oak Tree
Starting as street performers in Victoria, Pages from the Oak Tree are something between Louisiana Blues and Eastern European old time. Bringing a Baltic twist to a warm folk sound and covering it in a heavy dose of foot stomping rhythm and heart warming harmonies. These three folks blend six instruments into a macabre sing-a-long and pour it over a waltzing old-time mosh pit.

Adrian – bass
Danny – violin
