An eclectic, singer-songwriter album of driving folk-rock, sly and slinky jazz, acoustic blues and indie folk. These thirteen original songs are borne of one determined woman’s singular experiences, but they speak of events and encounters that resonate with everyone: The absurdities of modern love and relationships, a simple love song, a catchy Afro-beat number, “Oh Ray,” that’s all about a #MeToo moment – this is music that rocks your body and moves your soul. ---cdbaby.com

Langley-based musician Joann Hamick Quintana is releasing her second studio album of all-original music, and much of the talent on the album is from the island or has island connections.

The new album is thirteen original songs featuring indie folk-rock, sly and slinky jazz and blues. The songs speak of events and encounters that resonate with everyone: The absurdities of modern love and relationships, a simple love song, a catchy Afro-beat number that’s all about a #MeToo moment – it’s music that rocks your body and moves your soul.

The new album was produced by Whidbey Island’s David Malony and recorded at his Blue Ewe Studio in Freeland. David is a recording and sound engineer and also performs on the album.

Joann met sought-after Seattle guitarist Jeff Fielder (Indigo Girls, Mark Lanegan, Serah Cahoone) at Whidbey based Andre Feriante’s guitar extravaganza event on the island. She met guitar prodigy Josh Collins through Keegan Harshman, who owns Blue Sound Music in Langley. Collins performed with Quintana’s band when he lived on Whidbey Island for a short period of time before returning to California. Also featured on the album is Mickey Grimm, a new resident musician-drummer on the island, fresh from Nashville. ---Carolyn Tamler, whidbeylocal.com

When Whidbey Island resident and singer songwriter Joann Quintana recently released her first CD, “Sometimes a Sinner,” she simultaneously reached double mileposts in her pursuit of two of her foremost passions: songwriting and starry nights. She can spend more time talking about the latter than the former, once she gets going.

The first song on the recording, “Dark, Dark, Dark,” is an ode to the disappearing darkness on our planet. A portion of album sales will go to the Dark Sky Association (DSA), which works to preserve the remaining dark areas on the earth where stars are still unobscured by ground light.

Her fascination with the dark night sky began on a trip to farm in southern Illinois, her home state. “We stopped the car, turned off the engine and stepped outside. It was completely black. I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face, like in a cave. Someone said, ‘Look up!’ Oh my gosh, the stars. It was breathtaking!”

A visit much later in life to Truckee, California in the Sierras, convinced her that cities and towns could enact laws that would protect the view of the night sky while keeping lighting where needed in inhabited areas. That’s how she eventually became involved with the DSA.

The CD was recorded and produced at Empty Sea Studios in Seattle by Roots Channel founder Michael Thomas Connolly. Connolly sings and plays no less than ten different instruments on the recording and, as producer, is the person who conjured Quintana’s vision of her songs into reality. ---Russell Clapper, whidbeylifemagazine.org
