Details:
Divine Sign has come from humble beginnings. In 2005, Lindsey Miller (guitar, vocals) and Kerry McNulty (vocals) began playing acoustic sets anywhere they could get a show and for anyone who would listen. Three years later, with a 2007 Asbury Music Award under their belt, Divine Sign is a mainstay of the thriving New Jersey original music scene. Along the way they added Michael Askin (lead guitar, vocals), whose country licks added to an already strong sound. Bass and drum duties have been handled by a number of talented area musicians including Jake Fiedler (Ex-Models), James Stahon (Mable), Jay Walker (The Joe Harvard Band, Dragster) and Sarah Tomek (Dayâs Awake, Paperback Radio).

Divine Signâs music is a unique blend of country, folk, and blues not associated with the typical Jersey sound. The undeniable influences of such artists as the Band, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell are evident in the solid arrangements, layered harmonies and professional musicianship displayed within this group. The Songs are at the same time original and familiar.

The group recently released a full-length CD, the aptly titled "Definitely Overdue" and will be out supporting the disc through out 2008, working as hard as ever. The disc has received positive reviews and is also receiving local airplay, suggesting that bigger and better things are on the way for Divine Sign.


The lead vocals of Kerry McNulty sound a little like a countrified version of Jewel crossed with Stevie Nicks. Blended with the harmonies of Lindsey Miller and Michael Askin, the vocals at time give me chills.

This Jersey five-piece boasts some of the best country-tinged rock and roll this side of the Smoky Mountains.
