The two local (and formerly local) singer-songwriters took the stage at Shine Cafe last night. Both played entertaining sets and both are very talented writers, players, and singers. Here are a few pictures from the event. If you were there (or not) feel free to leave a comment…
The album, “It Could Just Be This Place”, will be released on 11/8/11 online via iTunes. It will consist of two tracks (“Speak In” and “Speak Out”). According to them, “It was designed this way to transcend media forms as a true LP, side A and side B”. Clever…
Support local music, go buy this album!
Singer-songwriter Lips (aka Stephanie Brown) will be playing on August 26th at Shine Cafe, 1400 E Street in Sacramento. Go check out this interesting act. You can hear more on her Facebook page or her web site.
From her press release:
A talented keyboard player with a soft spot for Casio sounds, Stephanie Brown a.k.a Lips performed extensively in her native New Zealand before moving to New York and forming the soul blues act Fredericks Brown in 2007. In 2010 Brown decided to take the leap and make music in her own right.
Characterised by a giant pair of lips on legs, Lips is that solo persona. Having already won comparisons to the likes of Oh Land and Little Dragon, her’s is a unique sound characterised by masterful songwriting and a sly sense of humor. Whether it’s loneliness or love, anger of happiness, Brown has a knack for capturing the bittersweet nuances of life and putting them to song.
Having released an EP via Bandcamp in 2010, Brown has just released the track “Everything to me”, which she describes as “an everyday account of needing to take a break from your everyday… and the deeper sentiment of supporting your loved ones through the hurdles that life throws at them”.
As Lips, Brown’s ability to both transfix and entertain make her a must see live act.
