Dawning

Editorial Reviews
Circus Magazine
"Today's Gothic scene has many faces. As long as the right vibe is present, instrumentation can be blissfully sparse. Take for example Paris By Night, the brainchild of Texas native Jeanine Acquart. Electing to go with only guitars, drums & bass, Ms. Acquart's vision has arrived front & center on her latest...While her melodies are haunting and seductive, the laid back feel of the band places a delicate twist on the whole thing. But they also prove they can rock on "America (Jam)", an early Pretenders-style number featuring some down & dirty blues licks form lead guitarist Rico Blythe."

About the Artist
Now hailing from New York, by way of San Antonio, Texas, Jeanine was part of an acclaimed choral group that traveled throughout central and eastern Europe. In 1994, Jeanine was voted San Antonio's Musician of the Year, as well as Best Female Vocalist, Best Songwriter, and, not surprisingly, Sexiest Female Artist. Around the same time, Jeanine began to perform and travel throughout the United States, seeking the right combination of musicians and atmosphere in which to further pursue her music.... read more

Album Description
Taking pop music to a new, dark, and passionate level, while maintaining its own warm, irresistible tone, Paris by Night is the creation of Jeanine Acquart. Thought often accompanied by accomplished musicians, Paris is unquestionably driven by singer/songwriter Jeanine's own intensity. The dark rock sounds created by Jeanine come by way of minor-tinged chord progressions, edged between despairing and hopeful tones. Song lyrics deal with disguised cynicism, self-condemnation, dark hope, and mortality - all gathered together by Jeanine's powerful vocals and vision.

For his second solo release, the former Three Irish Tenors member has decided to concentrate on songs of faith for which, given his oft-repeated history of triumphing over various obstacles, he would seem to be ideally suited. As on his debut effort, the orchestral arrangements are florid and the context strictly middle-of-the-road. For many listeners, his 9/11-vintage, a cappella rendering of "Amazing Grace" was a high point of his career, and one or two more sparsely arranged or even unaccompanied tracks might have been perfect for this album. There is no material of deeply Celtic context, other than "Morning Has Broken," a song associated with British folk singer Cat Stevens which was in fact lifted note-for-note from a Scottish Christmas carol called "Leanabh An Aigh." Tynan performs it as a duet with country star Vince Gill, who actually sounds more in synch with the soaring folkloric purity of the melody. Basically, Tynan is a fine example of what a pop tenor should sound like; as with Andrea Bocelli and others of that ilk, he aims to please and this he does surpassingly well. --Christina Roden

"When Ronan sings the clouds cry but the sun turns up sooner than it would have."—Bono

Ronan Tynan's newest release, The Dawning of the Day, is a collection of faith based songs that are an extension of Ronan's artistic being and his ever-evolving career as a singer. Brown Bannister, the award-winning producer know for his work in the Christian community with Amy Grant, is the man behind the controls for this latest Tynan effort.

Ronan has achieved worldwide fame as a member of the Irish Tenors. Now his singular voice and irresistible appeal have led him to strike out on his own, a decision that has resulted in something far more meaningful than a mere solo career.
