The Right Now April 17, 2009

James Brown may have been the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, but the title of Hardest Working Woman in Show Business has long been up for grabs. That is, until now. When vocalist Stefanie Berecz joined forces with guitarist Brendan O'Connell to form the nucleus of The Right Now, she had not yet found the perfect musical complement to her astonishingly soulful and virtuosic voice. Stefanie Berecz is 23 years old, but she has the talent, ability, and the work ethic of an industry veteran. She has achieved career peaks that performers twice her age never get to experience, opening for Mary J. Blige and appearing on MTV's hit series, "Making The Band." As fate would have it, O'Connell's songs had a quality at once both classic and contemporary--a description that applied equally to Stefanie's voice. The chemistry was instantaneous, and Stefanie agreed to join O'Connell's band, Eli Jones. As the musicians solidified their bond, the outfit was rechristened with its current moniker, The Right Now.
