Year: 2021

‘Rarified World’ debuted at City Winery Chicago!

“We are a band from a past era, in a way like we were teenagers.” – J.D. Andrew

The nineteen-song, two-hour concert was not only the expected great performance but in some ways a collective exhale that the show must go on

“I feel privileged to have been able to work with so many highly-talented musicians and producers, several of whom have become close friends over the years. It’s been a great ride so far.” – Michael Rothschild, Landslide Records Founder and President

“We did this whole thing in one take – no overdubs. It’s a fun, dirty bar blues jam. Everything is live and real.”  – Taylor Rae

The video brings raw authenticity and gives insights into why crowds engage frenetically with the musicians

It’s easy to speculate that the audience came as Talking Heads fans and left as Turkuaz fans too

“Lyrically, ‘Down So Long’ is an acknowledgement of the truth of suffering. The melodies derive equal inspiration from the North Mississippi blues of Robert Belfour and the songs of Malian singer/guitarist Boubacar Traoré.” – Ryan Lee Crosby

Announcing ‘Tiny Island’ by Michot’s Melody Makers feat. Leyla McCalla — Video EP release out Sept 25 on Nouveau Electric Records, with a release show and screening at Broadside in New Orleans!
