the vibe of a live

audience.

Nedra Russ and Julio "Inglasses" Guerra make up nJr - a duo performing Americana blues - true roots music capturing the spirit of their home in the Sierra Foothills.
Both seasoned, award-winning musicians, they are true soul mates united by a bond of performance and composition. 

Their sound reflects the blue-collar, hard-working class who know misery as well as joy and appreciate the solitude as much as the company of soul mate. Russ' husky voice and diverse harmonica selections pair well with Inglasses' emotive tenor vocals and expressive guitar and dobro playing. 

Their union started in 2009. In the years that followed, the two wrote more than a dozen songs together and finally married on Valentine's Day 2012.

They released their first album "Everybody's Been Somewhere" on April 6, 2012. The hard copy CD is available at live shows 'Everybody' runs the gamut of human emotions from the whimsical "Little Bum-blebee" to the bluesy romantic "Just Hit Rewind" to the morose "I was Sick & I Couldn't Get Well." If there's a human emotion, nJr captures it. 

In 2012, Russ ranked 94 on the list of All Time Top 100 Harmonica Players from the World of Harmonica. 

Everybody's been somewhere took 2nd Place for album of the year.
