Distrails is a duo from Winston-Salem North Carolina. Jared Draughon and Bitsy Pina started writing and recording the album Virginia Creeper a little over a year ago.
They have pretty diverse tastes in music. Bitsy grew up listening to classical music from baroque to 20th century, and Jared grew up listening to Jeff Buckley. Jared was raised in a very musical family and has been singing all his life. Bitsy started taking piano lessons at the age of 3 and went on to study piano performance at university.
The combination of the two talents create a unique fusion of piano, lush orchestration, layered sounds, and the phenomenal range of Jared Draughon’s melodic, haunting vocals. Jared Draughon’s mellow, beautiful voice is complemented well by Bitsy Pina’s hypnotic and complex piano themes.
Thanks everyone for visiting our page again and again. We've made Critical Mass for download today in celebration of hitting the homepage. :) Thanks again! Best, Bitsy & Jared
Yep, syncopation. I knew it! I like playing like that too on my guitar and drums (separately of course).
The CD arrived a couple days ago. Great cover art. The three remaining tracks that aren't up here didn't disappoint. Waning and waxing is a great album closer. Glad to hear another album is in the works.
And again! And you were a bit worried. Sorry I'm snickering but looking back thank goodness ya took a deep breath. You have to admit, it is funny now looking back. Isn't it? Oh just in case ya don't notice, I may be not the Gumby I've appeared to be in the past but it's still me.
