Description du concert
Illumination Wines hosts the best songwriters in the Carolinas the second Tuesday of each month. On June 11th, PJ Brunson's guest will be Rick Bethel and Katrina Brown. About the Songwriters: Fort Mill songwriter Rick Bethel is originally from Lindenhurst Long Island, NY (Birthplace of Pat Benatar). His songwriting, while at times about serious subjects, is often sprinkled with clever humor that captivates and entertains, with topics that range from Monkey's "Monkey See Monkey Do" to UFO's "I Wanna Believe". His Style of Americana and Folk music is rooted in the raw energy of Rock and soulful rhythm of Blues. A familiar face on the local music circuits, Rick has graced many stages, leaving a lasting impression with his live performances. He has been featured on Tiny Stage Concerts on YouTube. Rick creates a world where every song is a journey, every lyric a memory, and every performance an experience not to be missed. Charlotte Singer/Songwriter, Katrina Brown refers to her musical style as “Peculiar Pholk Psongs”. The phrase describes her songs perfectly while also giving a nod to the English language by which she is endlessly amused. Katrina has been sharing her tunes for more than thirty years from California to Florida and most every place in between. She has released four albums independently and continues to connect with people via her music every chance she can. With hints of Melissa Etheridge and Joni Mitchell, Katrina’s music is a rhythmic delight with imagery-filled lyrics and memorable melodies that ring on in the listener’s ears. You can find out more about Katrina and hear her songs at www.katrinabrownsongs.com. Rock Hill’s PJ Brunson hosts the monthly showcase and performs full-time in the Carolinas and beyond. Her brand of country-folk music can be found on three solo recordings available on CD and online at most digital platforms. Her songs often center on the universal themes of family, love, and life. PJ also performs original piano instrumental compositions with violinist Laurie Neal as the Celtic-Classical-New Age duo “Ananda”. For more on PJ, visit www.pjbrunson.com.

Biographie de PJ Brunson Music

PJ Brunson is a South Carolina-based singer, songwriter, composer, guitarist and pianist who has performed extensively across the Southeast region, opening for legendary artists such as Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith.

Known in the Carolinas as the "female James Taylor", the acoustic folk/easy listening artist delights audiences on guitar and piano with hints of Americana, country, pop, blues, Celtic, new age, classical and rock. Her songs, instrumentals and lyrics reflect her deep appreciation of poetry, art, literature and Southern heritage -- with imagery-accented stories of love and lore that appeal to audiences from all walks of life.

PJ has received accolades from fans and the media alike. The publication Creative Loafing named her Charlotte's "Best Acoustic Folk Act".

Her latest project released in August 2023 is a six-song EP titled "The Other Side (Part 1). It is a celebration of family relationships. Her album, "Home To Me", was nominated for Folk Album of the Year by members of the International Music and Entertainment Association. The songs are brought to life with the artist's mesmerizing alto vocals and intricate finger picking on acoustic guitar. Fans have praised the 14-song project as comforting, drifting, thought provoking, life changing, and authentic -- a gentle way to find peace in a troubled world.

The singer-songwriter has recorded five other albums as a solo artist and/or member of the New Age duo Ananda, with songs airing on radio stations and websites around the world. PJ's other solo albums are "Long Road - Live" (2003) and "Come Hell or High Water" (2001).

One of her greatest accomplishments as a budding professional artist was opening for Lovett and Griffith at Spirit Square in Charlotte and advancing to the second round of the "You Can Be A Star" talent search. She has performed at a host of prominent venues since then, including the Commodore Lounge and Renaissance Hotel in Nashville; the Charlotte Music Awards Singer-Songwriter Showcase; the York (S.C.) Summerfest; Community Performance Center in Rock Hill, S.C.; the Sylvia Theater in York, S.C.; Manhattan's in Knoxville, Tenn.; The Grey Eagle in Asheville, N.C.; Cafe' 99 and Cumberlands in Charleston, S.C.; and Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Belmont, N.C

The Herald newspaper in Rock Hill, S.C., has described PJ's performances as "so clear and captivating... she has often been compared to Joan Baez and Karen Carpenter."

The artist has received substantial news media coverage, appearing on WMNF-FM in Tampa, Fla.; "The Session with Tzima Brown" on radio station 95.9-FM The Point in Columbia, S.C.; WSGE-FM in Dallas, N.C.; WGWG-FM in Boiling Springs, N.C.; and "The Bo Travis Show" on Charlotte Cable Television.

PJ wrote her first song at age 5 (a rewrite of the love theme from the movie "Exodus") after she nearly drowned during a family outing to Santee Lake in South Carolina. Her adoptive father rescued her just in time. Her maternal grandmother bought PJ her first "real" guitar when she was 16. She learned to play the instrument by observing a folk guitar teacher on ETV. Her first paid gig at a local club led to a TV appearance and opportunity to record in a real studio. She later studied classical guitar and piano after landing a music scholarship to Limestone College in Gaffney, S.C.

The artist is available to perform her original songs at concerts, restaurants, bars, churches, weddings, bookstores, festivals, parks, private parties, and coffee houses.
