Roger Jaeger – ‘It’s My Time’

Redding California singer songwriter Roger Jaeger has assembled a fine group to play the live version of his latest single, ‘It’s My Time’. There’s a drummer who lays down a steady groove, a pianist who supports the song with ringing, resonant, and broad chords, and an acoustic guitarist whose harmonies blend both beautifully and enthusiastically with Roger himself. His combo is assembled in a brick-walled room, and there’s even a choir in the corner. Jaeger looks every bit an Americana frontman, with his easy-going manner and his expressive, red-bearded face. One thing sets him apart however; instead of a guitar in his lap, he plays a sitar.

Jojo Engelbert – ‘Grown Up’

From early childhood Jojo Engelbert has always been surrounded by popular entertainers, beginning with her siblings, whose nationally syndicated variety programme, ‘Ariel & Zoey & Eli Too’, was followed by a social media audience of millions. It should come as no surprise then that she never once doubted that her destiny also lay in entertainment, and her irresistible personality and gorgeous voice, from appearances on Ariel & Zoey & Eli Too as well as its companion programme, ‘Steal The Show’, ensured her introduction to her own fans. While not entirely ‘Grown Up’, at 14 Jojo feels she’s well and truly ready to shoot for the stars, with her new single.
