All music and lyrics are written by Jamie Bonk. Involved in this project are the musicians listed in the credits. Stylistically, his music can be classified as smooth jazz with New Age elements.
The album opens with the melodic song Last
Thing First, which features singer Wendy Irvine. The song contains
no lyrics, rather Wendy accompanies Jamie's guitar performance with her
bel canto. Bill McBirnie is a Canadian jazz and Latin flautist based in Toronto. His multiple activities are bundled on his website http://www.extremeflute.com/. On Inlet, his flute mastery intertwines with Jamie's virtuosity to create an intense musical braid. On It Always Will, Ron Scott mesmerizes with a love ballad that gains even more authenticity from the sound of his voice. Pull You Up lets Wendy's wind of freshness pass through the sheet music. Look Closer once again enraptures with Jamie's brilliant fingering of the acoustic guitar into the realm of instrumental folk. With On The Line, Jamie presents Ron Scott's third vocal work of delight. So Now I Know brings a new sound to the album with Henrik Bridger's bass.
Jamie Bonk's There To Now is not only a new episode in his
oeuvre but enriches it with numerous new facets.

Looking
at Jamie's website, I realize how long I have been following his career.
After all, There To Now (2022) is already Jamie's seventh
full-length album. And he has put a lot of effort into this project.
