Dear John Love Renee
When two strangers from opposite sides of the country move into the same downtown Mill Valley apartment building, meet, and realize they both love wine, they both enjoy whiskey, and they’re both a bit obsessed with songwriting, singing and playing guitar, a friendship is born and a duo is formed. Award-winning singer-songwriter Renée Harcourt of Blame Sally fame, and New York City transplant John McConnel are “Dear John Love Renée”, and together they deliver smart songwriting, tight harmonies and rootsy acoustic guitar picking all hovering in the Americana/Folk/Pop genre. Recently joining them to create the DJLR Trio is Sam Page on upright bass and harmony vocals. Their sound has been compared The Everly Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel and Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová, with a hint of Broadway, Radiohead and The Grateful Dead.
