Standing Room Only

The Bara Jonson and Kh'Mi Sept. 25 show at Jazz Central was a huge success. Our friend (and Hondo Mesa Records recording artist) Larry Hoyt sent us a shot of the standing room only crowd... Both shows (7:00 and 9:00) attracted an overflow crowd. The bands and audience had a great time.

Bialczak Reviews Kh'Mi CD

Hello Music Lovers,
Mark Bialczak, music critic for The Post-Standard, says Kh'Mi had to "dig deep to follow up" their SAMMY winning last CD. The review of their new CD, "Medicine Show," was published today. Bialczak acknowledges the unique variety that is Kh'Mi, not fitting "neatly into rock, blues, folk or any other definitively labeled style." On Medicine Show, "they're still grooving, soulful and brimming with good cheer."

Thanks for the review Mark and for posting a clip from the CD on your blog.
