I especially like "Time 4 U 2 Go". Good stuff.” Aching Heart Foundation - Reverbnation "How many times have you turned the radio dial because all the songs sound the same? I think that CD changers with a random selection button were created for similar reasons. G.I. and Jo have created music that goes a long way towards overcoming the cookie cutter syndrome".... Tunes In Review "Duos are making a comeback. Sonny and Cher, Donny and Marie, and Peaches and Herb have been replaced by Lady Antebellum, Sugarland, and G.I. and Jo. Refreshing!" "This is an up and coming act to watch for. Intimate, interactive shows are what makes this duo so appealing." All kinds of influences breed all kinds of creativity. G.I. (Stephan Hoff) and Jo (Joellen Cabot) have grown up embracing all kinds of different music. Joellen loves the vocals of the R & B divas, past and present, and it shows in her soulful, emotional vocal expressions. Her songwriting draws the listener in to relate-able experiences about life and all that a woman senses and feels. Stephan grew up singing and playing in the church. A musical family environment lent itself to his abilities to find a place to fit in, vocally and instrumentally. A stint in the 82nd Airborne Division provided his nickname. His influences range from rock, pop, jazz, and blues, embracing almost all genres of music and using a little part of all them as the driving force behind his songwriting and producing. G.I. and Jo collaborate often with different musical geniuses to create projects that are influenced according to each musician's taste and interpretation. This project with Tempting Zen is no exception. Doug Wilmarth's guitars range from sultry in Art Of Love to hard edged on I Still Like You. A master of all parts guitar, he is credited with much of this album's original music progressions and ideas. Chris George, a drummer and percussionist who is sought after by many groups in the Denver area as a session player and live stick man. His chops shine through on every track of this record. Kelly Watson has been the bass player for many artists and did an outstanding job on this project as well. He has instinctual rhythm that shows in his performance on every song. G.I. and Jo are constantly creating and expounding on new ideas. Their next project will be groove oriented tracks that will keep your feet moving and your head swaying back and forth like a dashboard bobble cow. Watch for it.
