Title: Subjects of the Queen

Amy Rivard has been collaborating recently with double-base player Georgia Weber.

Together, they're known as Subjects of the Queen.

On July 12, 2017, they released their first EP, called On Common Ground:

You can get it for $4 US, but you can also "tip" them more if you want to help support more music down the road.

There's 4 songs.

I thought each of them sounded quite different. The EP's got an overall jazzy feel to it, but there's some bluegrass and a few other styles they try out on the album. Georgia Weber plays the double-base and it compliments Amy's voice nicely. Georgia's not a one-trick pony though. She sings too!

The songs have layered meaning.

Track 61 is my favourite. It has a lot of different styles going on and has some REALLY nice melodies embedded in it.

I thought the EP was good. Check it out!
