Lily Taylor Releases “Overtones”
"Lead engineer Ryan Kleeman has nearly wrapped producing up and coming artist Lily Taylor’s debut album “Overtones.” Together they infused her haunting vocals with ethereal drops of piano strings, creating the perfect soundtrack for watching skies ablaze in the jaded desert. And did we mention she’s originally from Santa Fe? Hear something new at: www.myspace.com/thelovelylily"

"What can I say about the lovely Lily Taylor? We had no idea she was a smoky, noir heroine, straight out of a back room jazz hall with dirty floors and a secret password to get in. Lily's lucent blue vocals have a subtle fierceness that buoys every note and leaves you staring at the sky, wondering why it stays up there when it could come down and listen. This girl can break my heart anytime." -The Process.
"Lily Taylor... has a jaw-dropping beautiful voice which she uses to fan the embers of slow ballads." -David Kaye of the Music Box Series in San Francisco.
'Dead Elephants', features Stephen Canny -cello, Sean Miller - guitar.
'Swing', recorded by Sean Miller & mixed by Ryan Kleeman at SoundArts Studio
'Still Life'- collaboration with Kamal Sabran

In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the
innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was
captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally
unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other,
fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The
sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did
the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band
leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create
crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that
were sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the
first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene,
though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a
very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still,
the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and
Fairport Convention.
We are very excited about playing at such an awesome jazz club. We have some great sets lined up for you, so don't miss it. Friday and Saturday November 20th and 21st, 5:00-8:30p at Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago
