ELINA (RETURNS) – THE SHOW & CD REVIEW
Murrieta, CA - It was sometime after Java Jo’z had established itself as a ‘scene’ spot here to see tomorrow’s talent today, that a young artist breezed through one evening named Elina (see ‘Java Jo’z Alumni to Artist Song To Hit The Big Screen, 9/15/06). Unpretentious but very polished and stage savvy, the young singer who played acoustic guitar happily sang her set. By the time she finished, she had ‘stolen’ the room. The songs, all original, delivered in a style so effortless and natural, brought the room to a peak, only to be capped by the news that this singer, Elina, had a song on the soundtrack of the then upcoming animation film, Everyone’s Hero. She also had a CD to be released, also sometime in the future. And then she was gone, another ‘magic moment’ in a kaleidoscope of great entertainment during the first year of Java Jo’z. By receiving Elina’s newsletter I was able to keep up with the general whereabouts and happenings, but still Elina rolled in to do a Java Jo’z/Cuppy’s show under my radar. Seeing Elina first poised up on the stage tucked at a past memory but the backstage collection of guests kept me occupied until her last song. As I listened to her voice’s lilt lift over her delicate acoustic playing, it all came back in an instant and I muttered, “By Crom” under my breath as I breathed in the last song of the set. Never one to miss a genuine opportunity, in music anyway, I snatched up the self-titled CD, ‘Elina’, as soon as she finished the set, welcoming her back to the local scene here.
