Details:
The family that plays together stays together. The Barnettes, a band comprised of three sisters and a brother (Elesha Renee'', Adrienne, Kristen and Rufus) have been making music together for years, but the brand of music they tote now is a long cry from the Mozart and Beethoven they grew up on. Elesha Renee'', Adrienne and Kristen played cello, violin and viola respectively from elementary age on. Along with Rufus on percussion, the quartet performed the classics at various functions in and around the Carolinas for years. Having never officially adopted a quartet name they were always simply introduced as the Barnettes. So, when they decided to embark upon the project "Four Green Walls" going by the Barnettes came natural.
Elesha Renee'' was working on the soundtrack to an indie film – Key Lime Pie - when she got the bright idea to take the Barnettes in a new direction. Rocking out on a cello and violin was not going to work, so she purchased an acoustic electric and started intensely teaching herself the guitar. It didn''t take much convincing to get musical savant Adrienne to pick up the bass. Having never studied piano, Kristen picked up the keys with ease and with Rufus on the drums the Barnettes were reborn and with them the birth of an eclectic fusion of pop/rock and soul. With songs that hint at lyrical mastery - strong verses and unforgettable choruses - and melodies you keep humming long after the song is over, their music has staying power. The group played with naming the cd "Money Back Guarantee" as they guarantee endless listening pleasure or your money back; but they settled on "Four Green Walls" after the room in their home that has been witness to the hours and hours of meticulous practice, recording, re-recording and mixing.
As of late the Barnettes teamed with Pol-B aka Steve Allen, a rapper from Buffalo, NY, to cut the single "I Still Play On Your Mind". Having shot a music video to the single the band and Pol-B are ready for the world to hear the track people just can''t seem to get out of their minds. The group is also preparing to step back into the studio to cut their sophomore LP. They plan to record at EBR studios with Scott Kieklak (formerly of the Hit Factory - Miami). Look for the new album March ''07.
"I like it better live," their parents are always saying. The Barnettes take that as a compliment in a world where artists often don''t stack up to the cd recording. The group looks forward to recording a live album while on tour, Summer ''07!
