Rhonda Everitt will be playing at the Blue Bottle this Saturday 3/5 at 9 pm.
Here is a little info:
"pale beneath the blue is like taking a brisk walk on a beautiful late
spring evening: fresh, lovely and glad to be in the moment. Beautiful
melodies, a GREAT vocalist, sweet songs & a fresh take on some classic
styles, are influenced by the new are what you'll find. When you give
pale beneath the blue a listen, I dare you NOT to smile. And then you'll
play it again and find even more you didn't hear the first time. A great
effort she should be proud of." Liz Koch, Notorious Radio
With the release of her third record, Rhonda Everitt (rhe, A Pretty War)
transcends the stereotypes about a woman, a piano and a really good
soul-baring song. Using 88 keys, a life-changing accident and
Washington, D.C. producer Blake Althen, Everitt's new solo venture, Pale
Beneath the Blue, won't be pigeonholed.
