Spotlight On Brittany Kingery By DJ Jeff Allen Part of our job at Beachfront Radio is to bring you fresh new talent in the Trop Rock World. Most of the time, that talent comes to us with artists submitting their music. Usually, this music comes to us in the form of MP3’s or CDRs pressed on somebody’s home computer. Most of the time, these CDRs are not even worth being used for tabletop coasters as it seems that lately anybody who has found an old guitar in the corner of their basement now believes that he or she is as worthy of the title ‘Trop rocker’ as much as Sunny Jim or Jim Morris. Every once in a while, we get some time to venture out onto Youtube and attempt to discover these artists on ourselves. Our own Cali Carol found some time one day and while sifting through bad video after bad video came across a video titled “Treasures” by Brittany Kingery. She jumped out of her chair because of not only the great videography and music on the video but most importantly by the vocal performance of Brittany herself. Cali Carol contacted Britt’s management and told them about The Trop Rock World and he became excited enough to send Britt to Seattle’s Laidback Attack held in Britt’s close to her hometown of Olympia, WA. Jerry Diaz invited Britt onstage and she made an entrance to the Trop Rock World that everyone was buzzing about the rest of the weekend. The buzz continues and Britt will be making her BIG debut in Key West this year during MOTM. Be sure to come to BeachFront Radio’s Welcome To Key West Party at the Smokin’ Tuna on Wedneday Oct. 30th at noon and be part of Trop Rock history wi ?? ?????)-???????e?Q???I????]?????????]?????????????????????????????????????????????????+?q?????????????? ??????-???????t?????e???????????????????????qeL??$????????t((0
