Sounds Like"Barnes' warm, softly yearning voice is instantly calming, an instrument in its own right that suggests lazy hours on a porch during a warm spring evening." - All Music Guide

"Female lead Rebecca Dennison's songs have a richness to them that sometimes approaches Natalie Merchant, although her intonation on "Crippled Soul" is much nearer to Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies" - the Phantom Tollbooth review of Sojourn's "These Things I Remember"

For me this quote/idea is the hardest when you think you know it all, especially about music!

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

Costumes, creepy covers, and a free EP? What more could you want from a Halloween show?

You guys were, as always, ever so splendid. The only problem was me battling my sin of wanting to punt my pint glass into the heads of my sisters who have way to much to say. Other than that minor detail, all was well.
Again my friends, again.

I was hoping that people would follow my lead and write their name on it as well...and also I was hoping to not be forgotten. Thank you Joy Unfolding.

Nerds Unfolding? Awesome.
The 930





Aug 24 2007 12:38 PM

For all you uninitiated out there, The Joy Unfolding is formerly known as Jamie Barnes & His Deepest Apologies (though Jamie Barnes is still known as himself). They're playing The 930 next Tuesday 08/28 with Paleo and The Parade Schedule. Come out...in droves.

Jamie, there's only one hottie in ya'lls band.

Or I guess two if you count Rebecca.

I couldn't resist adding the little twist in the second sentence. I live for moments like that.
Dirt Poor Robins

I think the band should be called the Nerds Unfolding.
Jamie Barnes

Look at all the hot people in this band. Maybe you should call it the sexy unfolding.
