Our new feature is an editorial by one of our BeachFront Radio Ambassadors.  

This one is from our BeachFront Radio Ambassador Craig Guest reporting about a group he saw perform called The Hawthornes . . .

. . . .  At Eagleview Town Center, Exton, PA.       August 6, 2019

Kirsten & John Hawthorn are a husband & wife singer songwriter duo from Los Angeles.  They were accompanied by an excellent drummer (Matt Lucich) and base player (Eliot Lorango).

Kirsten began her solo career in 2006.  John performed with Toad the Wet Sprocket & Everclean. That is how he and Kirsten met.   Their first night out they started playing songs together.  Kirsten’s voice was a perfect fit!  Before long, they were writing songs together and they became engaged, then newlyweds.

Their CD called “Morning June” was scheduled to be released on August 9.  Kirsten was gracious and gave me a copy for Beachfront Radio.  She also signed my Trop Rock Songs Stories and Tales book (by Andy Forsyth) of singer/songwriters.

The Hawthorns opened the show with “Nobody Gives a Damn about Songs Anymore” written by John Moreland. Then, they did Rebel Road co-written by The Ladies, Kirsten, Karen Rappaport & Adrienne Thomas. Next, they did one of my favorite songs “Broken Wings”.  Kirsten has a really strong voice and the chemistry between John & Kirsten is magical.  Finally, Kirsten explained that Highway 405 made it very difficult for them to see each other when they started their relationship.  The distance was not great, but the traffic made the road impassable much of the time. Then the two sang “405”.   It was great!  They are both great songwriters.  If you get a chance to see them, do it.  It will be worth it!

Welcome to our latest Sponsor - - -

The Colebrookdale Railroad !!!  

Website: colebrookdalerailroad.com    or click HERE

 

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to travel on a train back in time to when the country was being explored by our early pioneers?

 

 

Experience the wonder and splendor of the bygone era of the Titanic (1900 to 1916) aboard the Colebrookdale Railroad. Travel Through Pennsylvania's Secret valley, enjoy a five star meal, listen to the grand piano, or sip a specialty cocktail as the train crosses tall timber trestles and deep rock cuts on one of the northeast's most scenic journeys unspoiled by time. The Colebrookdale's Secret Valley looks much the same today as it would to the iron-willed pioneers who first ventured along its cold, rushing creeks three centuries ago. Santa trains, foliage trains, and a host of special events make the Colebrookdale Railroad perfect for making lasting memories.

 

Visit colebrookdalerailroad.com and book your trip today for the adventure of a lifetime into the past.

A new Trop Rock Band is on the Horizon and making waves up in the New England area of the country.

And now have them in our regular rotation They are based in Connecticut and have only been together for about 18 months, but I foresee many years for them and I'm sure they'll start getting lots of attention at Parrot Head events soon as well.The full album of about 10 songs will be out in the weeks to come or very soon, whichever comes first.
