Kira Small is an incredible singer/songwriter/keyboardist whose original R&B/soul material is just as deeply intimate as it is funky. Her 2010 CD Raise My Voice [Offrow Records] as well as her previous CD Love In A Dangerous World [2006, Offrow Records] were produced by Bruce Dees (James Brown, Ronnie Milsap) and feature many Muscle Shoals & Motown veterans. As a session singer in Nashville, Kira has performed and recorded with Peter Frampton, Martina McBride, Wynonna Judd, Faith Hill and more. Bluegrass artists Nu-Blu’s version of Kira’s song “Other Woman’s Blues” is the first single off the band’s 2011 album The Blu-Disc and is currently climbing the bluegrass radio charts.

Bryan is a well-known bassist, has toured worldwide with guitarists Steve Vai and Mike Keneally (both ex-Frank Zappa bandmates), the metal band Dethklok (Metalocalypse on Cartoon Network) & hot new super-trio The Aristocrats (w/Marco Minnemann & Guthrie Govan), and has been the focus of plenty of press. He’s also Kira’s husband. 🙂 The material they perform is primarily Kira’s original catalog, with a few choice covers as well. Their newly released duo album Live At The White House (recorded at the Timucua White House in Orlando, FL) has been garnering rave reviews like this one: http://www.thunderrow.com/content.php?1108-Kira-Small-Bryan-Beller-Lightning-And-Thunder
