JC & Laney return Feb. 10

The logo for the duo, JC & Laney reads, “Heart ‘n’ Soul & Rock ‘n’ Roll.” That’s the perfect summary for this dynamic musical duo who will take the stage at Fiddlers Crossing on Friday, Feb. 10, to kick off Valentine’s weekend.

JC & Laney are high-energy entertainers, with improvised banter, signature harmonies and memorable songs that run the gamut between folk, blues, pop, rock and comedy. Together they write, sing harmony and perform their own compositions, with two voices and one guitar. As fitting Valentine’s Day, some of their songs will tug at your heartstrings.

They have recorded CDs, and two of their songs were on the ballot for the Grammy Awards last year. JC & Laney CDs are regularly played on Pandora, Spotify, and dozens of other internet radio stations, and have had many of their songs picked up by touring artists throughout Europe and the US.

JC Scott, from Long Island, NY, cut his teeth in front of crowds during the Classic Rock Era, playing guitar and singing with such musicians as Arlo Guthrie, Lindsay Buckingham, Kenny Loggins, Chuck Berry and Weird Al Yancovic. Before meeting Laney in 2009, he had already written and recorded five solo CDs.

Laney Greynolds has been using her powerhouse of a voice to sing traditional country, gospel and rock music since she could breathe. She has recorded with many artists in her career, as well as being the lead singer and driving force of the classic rock band Saddletramp.

Together, JC & Laney now perform more than 100 times a year throughout the West Coast states, at house concerts, state fairs, festivals and venues such as Fiddlers Crossing. The emotional delivery of their original style of acoustic folk-rock-Americana music will leave you feeling you have found some new best friends. In fact, if you happen to be in Flagstaff, AZ, in the summer, where they are café performers, just remind them you heard them in Tehachapi at Fiddlers Crossing and they will treat you as their best friends!
