So Near So Far

So Near So Far by D'Normand is a bold eye of folksy- blues performed, written and produced by Bob Norman and Gina Befera. Bob and Gina teamed up as songwriters after meeting in a jazz club in Duluth, Minnesota. Their collaboration combines Bob's ability to play multiple instruments and talent as a producer with Gina's knack for writing sassy lyrics, fashioning harmonies and composing multi-track vocal arrangements. Their musical and life backgrounds are loaded with live performance, and inspired by musicians like Dave Mathews, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Heart, John Mellancamp, Bonnie Raait, and U2. So Near So Far was produced in Studio 53, the recording studio Bob built himself from the ground up. Bob continues to perform as lead guitarist in area bands throughout Northern Minnesota. Gina grew up playing in garage bands and gigging the Midwest. She is also a solo writer and producer at Idea Works STUDIOS.
