The duo EYMAREL (pronounced emma-rehl), is a refreshing blend of head-bobbin grooves, smooth organ-ic improv, and sultry pop melodies. Eymarel combines the talents of Mary Frances, (vocals, keys, and bass), and Lee Allen, (drums and electronics). Once the two discovered each other's passion for both creating and playing music, they quickly decided to combine their journeys with hopes to spread their unique sound and positive energy. Eymarel explodes with an electric connection resulting in a captivating musical experience and on-stage aura, enticing both the eyes and ears of their listeners up and down the East Coast. Eymarel has had the pleasure of recently becoming part of the Homegrown Music Network as well as sharing the stages with some great acts along the way such as, Jazz Mandolin Project, DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstars, The Jerry Garcia Band feat. Melvin Seals, The Adam Deitch Project, Sam Kininger Band, Boombox, Soldiers of Jah Army, Dubconcious, The Atlanta Rhythm Section, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, and many others.
Mary Frances's musical journey began on the piano under the classical training of Frances Scott Carter as well as the teachings of her fathers rock-n-roll-soul outfit. She continued her education during college at Appalachian State University with piano professor Dr. Bair Shagdaron. Her years of classical training have set the stage for the transposition into the world of playing both bass and keys simultaneously. Mary Frances also adds an additional dynamic twist to the music with her smooth, enchanting voice. Mary's passionate vocals create a perfect compliment to her soulful key and bass groove. Drummer Lee Allen was first drawn to the skins at the age of five by the influences of his fathers marching band drum-line and old soul records. His passion for beats led him to the teachings of Berklee School of Music in Boston, MA and then to the mountains of North Carolina at Appalachian State University. Also influenced by the progressive path of music technology, Allen continues to expand his sonic palette through the creative use of modern electronics. Mary Frances and Lee Allen have combined their talents to create a soulful-groovin, hop-pop, organ trio sound from two. Their music will get your heads bobbin, toes tappin, and your souls singing along. We would like to welcome you to the unique, infectious sound of EYMAREL. |
