​Pharis and Jason Romero (from the album Bet on Love available on Lula Records)
On their recent album release, Bet on Love, Pharis and Jason Romero offer a musical balm for our world circa today. The timing and topics matched-up, with Pharis and Jason Romero doling out audio comfort food in the form of song as Bet on Love focuses on community through the lens of home and family. Equally hitting the mark for synchronicity was the call-out for fans to submit video footage to back “Roll on My Friend”. Asking for contributors fit, and fulfilled, the need for at-home projects, to be creative during lockdown, and a good distraction. Selecting the winner was tough, and of the process Pharis shared ‘we were blown away. Choosing a winning video was nearly impossible. But in the end, we were drawn again and again to a journey of a family canoeing up to northern Canada in the 1960’s, following their adventure in a way that was engaging, beautiful, and perfectly reminiscent of the spirit of the song’.
The choice of a video winner runs along the same lines as Bet on Love. The stories show how we as humans share a personal love for simple smiles. Pharis and Jason Romero sing of our common ground in “We All Fall” while the pair cherish their relationship with “New Day”, bend the picking with a bit of Blues in the guitar strings for “Right in the Garden”, and join in harmony for the seaman’s story of “Old Chatelaine”. Recorded in the banjo shop where the master craftsmen work as world renowned instrument builders, the intimacy of the recording combined with the deeply personal meanings. Bet on Love reflects the land and lifestyle of the husband and wife team. Slow strums turn the wheel of the title track when Pharis and Jason Romero open their hearts to share what has worked for them as Bet on Love picks up the pace as it trails the journey of a happy man through “A Bit Old School”, quiets for lonely in “World Stops Turning”, and hears the highway call in “Hometown Blues”.
