Jon Bare is the Orcastra leader, and the Killer
Whales are the wave that he rides upon. Together they make some of the finest produced rock-blues-pop that
you will ever hear.
Jon is a mulit-talented music man; he plays the
guitar, piano, sings, and produces, amongst other things. On the CD “Orcastra”-Bare and his Killer
Whales offer the listener a multi faceted musical trip. With a combination of rock, blues,
psychedelic, pop, and just about any other genre you could possibly think of, this bands cooks
right along, effortlessly pumping out song after song. Each tune is a different blend
of all of the above.
If you were looking for this CD in a music store, you
would have to find it in a section called eclectic. I feel that Bare is being overlooked; he is no
doubt one of the most talented people in music. It’s time for people to stop, look, and
listen.
Just like the previous release “Shredzilla”, this CD
is a real good time. When you are out for a drive with the top down, or in the backyard flippin’
burgers on the barbecue, you will want this music playing. Summer is approaching, and Jon Bare knows
when to release his music. Timing is everything in life.
I instantly knew that I was in for a hell of a good
time after I heard the first few notes of the rocker “Snakey.” I was off and running in no time. Also, songs like
“Get Funky” will have you dancing and prancing around without a care in the world.
This is a very consistent recording, both musically
and in the production department. Great music doesn’t sound great unless its engineered and produced
properly. Trust me, they have it covered. Once again Bare and his band prove that they can
go above and beyond the standard every day release. The bottom line is…this CD has it
all.
I really have a special place in my heart for groups
like this.
Stop by Jon’s website and order this CD now. It’s the
time of the season to Rock!

“Jon Bare's recordings sound
every bit as good as those made at major studios.
Jon has always delivered quality music to the show
and we've played his numerous
projects on Local Licks for quite a few years.
Orcastra (his latest CD) shows us yet
another side of The Killer Whales... horns. It's
cool.” -- Bill Hartew, Producer - KLOS
