Great Balancing Act
Saturday, August 3rd, 2024
Jeep and Nina started making music as the Great Balancing Act way back in 1994! Back then, Jeep played guitar, Nina played the Udu drum (an African Clay drum) and they sang harmony together. Fast forward 30 years, 10 recordings, countless performances, and many incarnations of the band – these two birds are still going! They played all original music that inspired and delighted. Their latest recording – Planet of Song – is one of pure pop perfection.
