Jezebel Music wrote Resonance last week was a family affair.
Performing were two brothers, one couple, two finalists
from the WLSC
2006, and there were multiple guest appearances. OK, so "family affair"
is an exaggeration
but you get the idea. First up was Chris Farfan,
performing a solid set of 12-string-acoustic-driven classic-rock-
influenced jams, with his brother
Jorge delivering atmospheric,
digitally-delayed leads on classical guitar. The brothers were joined
by Alice Stopkoski (significant other of Chris) singing back up, who
herself was the third performer of the evening. Alice performed
an
intimate, soulful set, joined by Briana Winters and Chris Farfan
on backing vocals. Performing between Farfan
and Alice was Bryan
Dunn (Bryan and Alice were the 2nd and 3rd place winners,
respectively, of the 3rd Annual WLSC), who is not related
by blood
or in a relationship with anyone in attendance, but is well known by all.
