@kjablonski

 Steemit Openmic Week 64 A Christmas Parody Original Lyrics  --- by @kjablonski 

"Kate Jablonski is a musical power force.   she has it all vocals, guitar skills, rhythm and carry through, she is in the pocket every time of a track and has incredible creative vision.   What I love about her is she is not afraid to take things in another direction with her covers, this was just so creative and brilliantly laid out. quirky fun parody twist in an original christmas song to the instrumental musical sounds of Zombie by the cranberries.  full out amazing kate.   @kjablonski also has a featured song in the Steemit Artist Music Compilation Volume 3.  Def give you a listen on there as well she is just fantastic, def not a new member to our openmic top picks.

@kendramoriah 

 Steemit Open Mic Week 64 Runaway Original Song  --- by @kendramoriah 

"What a beautiful voice, so sweet with crystal clear clarity.   The original song shes brought to us this week is brilliantly catchy, little bit of a southern folk flair, with that pure lilith contemp. female vocal.   Great chorus on this one just gets ya involved in the feel of it.  nice playing really dug it all around great work (my heart is an open highway) "
