San Juan is a
folk/alternative band out of Seattle. Their music
currently seems to be most accessible via Facebook, with recordings of four
songs being performed live.
While the songs
generally have a bit more groove than traditional folk (perhaps indicating that
they lean more towards alternative), there is a definite folksy feel as you
listen to their banter with the audience while performing. The band seems very
accessible.
"She's Been
Out There" has some blues-y bass in it, whereas "Hey Yo Sister"
and "Golden Shoes" are a little mellower, and softer, conveying a
different emotion, but one that works within the songs.
The only song I
really want to complain about is "I Need You", which strains so
horribly for rhymes I thought it must be a joke. Actually it's a cover of a
country song, which I guess makes sense, but I have to recommend against it. If
the audience tends to give a good response. maybe the band should stick with
it. The band performs it well as far as that goes, but it's just hideous. This
could just be a result of my prejudice against country music and abuse of the
English language, but my recommendation is to go to their page and listen to
the first three songs only.
Music does not
currently appear to be for sale, but appearances do get displayed on the web
page.
