Award winning singer/songwriters perform in South Lake Tahoe

Unity at the Lake is presenting an evening with internationally acclaimed singer/songwriters JD Martin & Jan Garrett on Friday, April 1 at 7:00 p.m. The concert will be held at 1195 Rufus Allen Blvd in South Lake Tahoe.

JD Martin is an acclaimed songwriter of five-number one and ten-top ten country and pop hit singles. His songs have been recorded by such luminaries as Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, B.J. Thomas, Peter Cetera, the Oak Ridge Boys, and Kathy Mattea. He has won over 15 ASCAP awards for excellence in songwriting in Nashville and LA.

Jan Garrett is a jazz singer with a poet’s soul. In her musical past, Garrett recorded and toured with John Denver and Steve Martin (when he was still doing stand-up) and appeared on the Tonight Show. She joined Dirt Band for their historic 1977 Soviet Tour and was later listed in the Rolling Stone “Who’s Who in Rock & Roll.” Her tune “Tenderly Calling” was recorded by John Denver and the legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize, and has been featured in a PBS “Frontline” documentary.

Stylistically their primarily piano-based music winds through pop and gospel, jazz, folk, soul and country…..but it’s the rich vocal harmonies, lyrical depth, and their comfortably compelling stage presence that define their magnetic appeal. Jan & JD are all about generosity of heart and soul, artfully wrapped up in musical excellence. Jan & JD's music is universally inclusive and uplifting, “A feast of musical endorphins, well-being made audible.” The songs are a soulful ride through light and shadow, musical styles and lyrical perspectives with depth and integrity, masterfully held together by the language and harmony of the heart.

"Rich and intelligent, a velvet-hammer wake-up call as satisfying to the soul as it is to the ear...songs to open the heart and refresh the spirit."
