STRAINED RELATIONS is the Father/son duo, Greg and Jon Buening. We write songs separately and together, strive for close harmony vocals, and use a variety of instruments.
We're members of the Queen City Balladeers, a group of independent singer/songwriters that's been running a coffeehouse in Cincinnati for over 40 years!
WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WRITING MUSIC:
When you sing you're like a tuning fork vibrating with the feeling of your song. Those vibrations touch other people, who recognize those same feelings as their own. Writing a song must always start with your own honesty. Whether funny or sad, simple or complex- it must be true. -Greg
I like music as a form of expression, because it's something I think people really feel. When you love a certain song, it just has that power to really make you feel happy. When I write, I try to write songs that make me feel that way - and hopefully some of them will make other people feel that way too. - Jon

Another Knockout Punch
author: Gizmo Cuirkowski
Another knockout punch for the Cincinnati father-son duo. Their easy going and infectious harmonies and melodies evoke Gershwin, Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles, with a dash of gypsy thrown in for flavor. As with their first release, We Could Have Been Contenders alternates between tugging at the heart-strings, tickling the funny bone and stirring up the grey matter. The production is simple but well-crafted and packs a pleasant punch. Don't let these guys fool you - they are contenders. Get it now!!!
