Any time I hear an acoustic guitar accompanied by orchestral instrumentation in a pristine mix, I feel great inside.

The Jinxes must have heard my call for something a little different and refreshing because on this EP they definitely Send Me A Sign.

When the disc ends with the song Send Me A Sign and I hear an equally awesome mix of video game-esque layered sounds  dancing around behind that awesome sounding acoustic guitar, I have to double check to make sure I’m listening to the same album…

It all blends so well together I’m left wanting 4 more songs once it stops spinning. So how long do I have to wait to hear the next 4 songs?

Teaming up with producer/engineer Andy Zenczak at Gadgetbox Studios in Santa Cruz, The Jinxes also brought in Grammy winner Barry Phillips to create the string arrangements as well as a full complement of session musicians.

The result is what happens when love and music come together as one to create harmony.

Deanna Ross wears many hats as a songwriter, dancer, choreographer, teacher, proud birthmom, and super-blessed daughter, sister and friend! She also just started her first novel.

Deanna had been hosting an open mic night for quite some time. That’s when Kevin Smith showed up.

After forming a writer’s group to focus on lyrics and songcrafting, Kevin and Deanna emerged not only as The Jinxes but as a couple.
