Artist To Know: The Great Afternoon

The Great Afternoon

The Great Afternoon’s music is effortlessly enjoyable and makes my ears smile.  Wow, Christina Ward has a great voice!  Ward delivers powerful and solid lead vocals with a delightful tone.  The other members of The Great Afternoon are Kris Knechel, and Brian Huggins. By the way, nice use of a banjo.  Well, I’m still just getting to know this Lamberville, NJ based band but I definitely like what I hear.

Stop by The Great Afternoon’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/thegreatafternoon) if you want to hear their new EP.  And if you’re as intrigued as I am by The Great Afternoon’s sound then you might want to catch an upcoming show – I know I will.
