Album Notes

James Kinne and Tara Orion had an undeniable chemistry from the first time they met. Amidst a sea of artists in central Connecticut, they collaborated on-stage that very first evening. Their writing easily bridged individual solo material to songs that were strengthened by their combined input.

Looking for inspiration, James introduced Tara to the Green Mountains of Vermont. The beauty and day-to-day pace in the mountains reflected James' fond memories of his childhood days when he would visit with his family. James and Tara turned to the wilderness for clarity and inspiration, and converted a mountainside ski lodge into a comfy home and professional recording and production studio named Stillwater. They wrote songs and recorded tracks that celebrated the fullness they felt in their new surroundings, and began a search for the right people to round out and add the finishing touches to their project.

Their patience paid and off and those "right" people came along: Jake Blodgett on drums and percussion, and Jim Bowen on bass. Both were journeymen performers from Vermont in the right place at the right time. Together they create a driving force that compliments the rhythmic structure of James and Tara's unique blend of acoustic/electronic music. In the spring of 2006, Nothing About Grover proudly released their first CD "Remain." Songs weave through various musical styles. Subtle touches of rock, folk, electronic, jazz, and soul paint a musical landscape seldom heard in popular music today.
