The NewArkansans

The NewArkansans, or TNA, are an original acoustic duo comprised of Zita Corazon and Kelso Gin Whitney. Blending powerhouse Brit-soul vocals with a blues-rock southern song-writing mystique, TNA delivers all the folk-wailing subtext of an alcohol induced dream. Zita Corazon draws from her Birmingham roots and extensive musical theatre career (rocky horror picture show), to distinctively counter and reflect Kelso Gin's country and rock influences, resulting in powerful harmonies and bar banging rythymic intensity. Formed in Newark NJ, TNA executes a contemporary vision of rock, blues, soul and folk, merging influence from both sides of an Atlantic ocean full of whiskey.
