  • Bio

    The sophomore album, AS THE BUILDING BURNED, from the duo The 15th Floor takes its name and artwork from Track #4, a tale told by a man in love with a superhero, "Wondergirl." The album strives to make the listener feel something with every song, whether it is deep and emotional (Track #13, "Something More") or light and frivolous (Track #14, "Just To Think About You.") >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Derived from the singer-songwriter style of the 70's, this Americana album could pass as folk, folk-rock, or alternative country, but remains current—like Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, or Matt Nathanson with a lot more roots showing. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All the tracks feature the unique and intriguing harmony style of Emily Johnson. On Track #5, Johnson takes the lead on "Wild Heart", delving into the alternative country realm, backed up perfectly by Nancy Damone's vocals and Doug Bartlett on fiddle and mandolin. Bartlett also magically transforms the folk ballad "Looking For You" with his interweaving fiddle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Whatever You Are", "You're The Girl", and "Just To Think About You" keep you smiling and tapping your toes, as does the summer love song, "You Should Know." "Every songwriter needs a summer song," says Scott Kriegshauser (also known as "Kriegs"), who wrote all the tracks with a little help lyrically from Johnson on the dichotomous divorce song, "Kind Words." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "I started writing songs about the same time I starting falling in love, in the 5th grade," says Kriegs, who continued writing even during Medical School and throughout his ongoing 20+ year career as a Radiologist. His daughter, Emily, now married with twin sons, learned to read music at age 4, is an award winning classical pianist and has trained as a studio engineer. She produced the first album, From the Dining Room, which features eight folk-rock tracks. The new album, As The Building Burned, was recorded, mixed, and mastered by producer Kyle Harris at his PlayR Recording studio in Phoenix, AZ. Kriegs believes Harris should receive a Grammy for his work on this album. Johnson says, "Kyle is a master. We wanted to go more organic this time and that's what he is best at, especially letting the song shine through. I didn't really appreciate a couple of the songs until I heard the first mix. Kyle made me love them!" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> With an anticipated release date of July 27, 2012, the album and tracks will be available on CD Baby, Amazon, and iTunes.

Bio:

Not your usual band, this father-daughter duo first collaborated eighteen years ago when Emily was four years old, with the lyrics: “You get the cup and I’ll get the water, you be the Daddy and I’ll be the daughter.” Since then Emily and Scott have worked hard to hone their song-crafting skills, probably best exemplified in “This Time”, “On My Way Back to You” and “A World Without Your Face.” Scott and Emily’s voices blend magically, with Emily’s rich, comfortable, subtly unique harmonies making every song memorable...songs you’ll find yourself humming even days later. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX “The 15th Floor is Emily and Scott Kriegshauser. Don't worry, you won't have to spell it again, just remember The 15th Floor. He plays guitar, she plays keyboards...as father and daughter, they have found a harmonious sweet spot......and a very nice sound. Enjoy!" -Erich Sielaff, host of AZ Music Café, KKNT AM 960, Phoenix XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX From the Dining Room (album): Bringing together a slew of the finest musicians and engineers into two of the premiere Phoenix area studios, The 15th Floor created their first album, From the Dining Room. Ranging from folk-rock (“Listen to Me Breathe”) to light alternative rock (“A World Without Your Face”) to straight-ahead rock (“My Fair Lady”), the two songs with Emily singing lead vocals (“Free”and “On My Way Back to You”) even add a flavor of pop-rock. Seemingly eclectic, the true effect is a cohesive collection of songs that avoids monotony. Most fans find themselves listening all the way through every time, rather than picking out one or two tracks for their playlists. Wonder what ever happened to songs that make you feel something? Well search no more. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Send me an IM! ..   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
