I'm getting back a bit to my musicals geekiness. I discovered Ramin Karimloo a while back and his voice just had me mesmerized instantly. He's most well known for playing the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera and also Valjean in Les Mis on West End. And then I also found Hadley Fraser. He definitely caught my eye when I watched the 25th anniversary concert of Les Mis in O2. He did not have that much stage time as Grantaire, but he made the most of the time granted. Definitely had people saying 'ooh and aah' (yep, that's a reference to the lyrics he sang there).
Now let's get back to business. Can you imagine my excitement when I found out that these two have a band called Sheytoons? Although most of the videos of the band on YouTube are live recordings either from jamming sessions of concerts, I got a very nice overview of their music. It's a step from their regular musical theater to bluegrass. A long step, but a good one. I think it's a thing due to all the vocal training they get with musical theater, but their voices have a special sound to them. A sound that I really enjoy.
Although the video doesn't have the best quality, the sound is great. I just love how their voices melt into perfect harmony. I do hope to find more songs from the Sheytoons soon.
