It's so hard to do justice to the original vocals. Even for Tony Martin himself, he either dodged the high notes altogether or used a tape to cover for him back when he was touring with Sabbath.

My goal is recreate the magic of this hidden gem in a live band setting. \m/
So DM me if you're interested in joining this project in Tokyo.

Crawling Out the Cave - Kunihisa & Kang Kadmus

“So, after 15 days of waiting and keeping myself positive and encouraging my heart, it is finally my virtual audition day for 'NBC’s The Voice (The Voice)', at one o’clock this afternoon! I chose to record an acapella track and make a music video of me singing an acapella cover of 'No Place That Far', which was recorded and performed by Sara Evans, back in 1998, and was written by Sara (herself), Tom Shapiro, and Tony Martin. 'No Place That Far' I grew up singing and has always felt so emotional and meaningful to me. I tunefully sang the first verse and the chorus of this truly beautiful song today, changing a couple words and lyrics in the chorus and making it even more genuine and personal to myself. And while I was singing, I profoundly felt so much heartfelt power in my voice, in my heart, and in my soul. I’m just hoping for positive feedback, really. -‘Prayers, may you guide me and give me the strength of courage to always dream and to always be the dreamer than I am…’” (September 17, 2025)

No Place That Far

The most meaningful interests of my life include: my daughter, Keira Lynn, writing my own songs, as well as singing from my soul. Music has always been the first love of my life, specifically, country music. The day Keira was born she proved, to me, that love truly is beautiful.

I have always been a songwriter and a poet, as well as a singer at heart. I can spend hours on end just sitting and writing and picking guitar or messing around on the piano/keyboard. The sound of a violin/fiddle just strikes my heart down to my soul, which is why I took up the violin at the age of twenty-one. My daughter, Keira, gives me reason to live this life every day. I was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, MG, an autoimmune muscle weakness illness, in July of 2011. Keira is such an inspiration to me, making me not want to give up, even when I get so weak. She is my song that lingers into hope. Keira will always continue to be the song of my whole life.

-Song is personal –Jenn

I am huge into writing my own songs (mainly a lyricist, while picking around with chords on guitar or putting some notes together on keys on the piano/keyboard or the violin/fiddle). I have been writing for several years and have taken two-and-a-half years of voice and guitar lessons. I just have never found exactly where to place my music. I always keep the hope and the prayer that success may be within the next page of my life.

“So, I noticed today, while looking over my many songs on SoundCloud, that I have over 200 plays for my self-written, recorded song 'Now That I’m Taken'. Wow. I’m so truly grateful. Thank you to the people who have taken the time to listen to my song. And thank you to God for guiding me in the music that I so deeply and so completely and honestly love. What an honored gift. I feel so touched and so blessed.” (September 23, 2022)
