Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon, Music for Spiritual Celebrations

Our new CD Love Can Change the World is coming September 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jumping the lines between acoustic soul and folk rock, Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon create a place where you can relax in the comfort of the groove – and know you’re going to leave smiling and just a little more hopeful. The first thing you’ll notice is the blend of their harmonies, along with rhythmic guitar that drives a compelling tension and release. Greg’s guitar pushes – Bev’s voice pulls – together exploring life, love and the pursuit of something real

This couple combines their varied musical pasts to create a place where you can relax in the comfort of the moment- and know you’re going to leave smiling and maybe just a little more hopeful.

“Liquid vocals to melt your heart … guitar work that dances …. songs that make a difference … Bev and Greg are the real deal.”
- Jan Garrett & JD Martin, POSI-award winning New Thought singer/songwriters

Their 2007 CD release Any Doorway will Do is a “luminous collection of songs that shine with a soulful spirit.”
- Music Connection Magazine

Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon have performed with and shared stages with Jan Garrett & JD Martin, Gypsy Soul, Freebo, Randall Williams, the Rhythm Angels, Walter Strauss, Kenny Edwards and many others. They are are members of the Positive Music Association and the emPower Music and Arts community. Their songs have won numerous accolades from acoustic music and songwriting organizations - but their most cherished rewards are the emails from people who are touched, inspired and encouraged by their music.

"Your songs touched my heart and brought back memories I didn't even know I had."

PROVIDING SPECIAL MUSIC FOR NEW THOUGHT COMMUNITIES

Great songs have the power to draw out a million emotions. They heal, they teach, they make us feel.

Special service music helps to create a positive and uplifting experience. We have performed our original songs in Centers for Spiritual Living, Unity and Unitarian Churches throughout California, Oregon and into Arizona and New Mexico, and we are grateful for our connection with each new community into which we are welcomed.

We cherish the opportunity to share these songs with open hearts, and we are deeply grateful for your trust in us to join you in ministry. With advance notice of your theme for the day, we can select songs that will augment your message and truly touch those in attendance at your services. We’ll work with you as much—or as little—as you desire.

“Bev & Greg really 'get' how a collaboration between musician and minister can raise the service to a much higher level.”
- Liz Mirante, Sr. Minister, Monterey Center for Spiritual Living

You can be confident that we will provide a professional, high quality music presentation. We also love to meet people who connect with our music, so we welcome the opportunity to meet and greet with members after the service. The opportunity to sell our CDs and establish relationships with fans helps support our ability to continue to create and perform uplifting music.

We also welcome the opportunity to perform an afternoon concert at your church, or in a member’s home. People all over the country are discovering how house concerts can build community — it’s a wonderful way to experience intimate, live music performances and to share new found music with friends.
