Mars Or The Moon
When they decided to mix their talents together some incredible results followed. They created an intoxicating mixture of Melody, Passion, Fire, and Groove. Playing most shows "semi-acoustic", they defy the trappings usually associated with most 'folkies'. Sure they can touch your heart or wrench your guts with some of the finest story/songs, but they can also make you dance and groove. Lenen's tasteful use of hand drums and shaky toys delight those who want music to make them dance. Joe's use of loop station and creative distortion allow him to paint sonic landscapes that suggest more color and depth than just the strumming of an acoustic guitar.
Joe sings like a Beatle on a bad day or Bob Dylan/Neil Young type on a good day. Lani's voice is world class. She is in a category reserved for the finest. Think Emmy Lou Harris. Think Tori Amos. Think Patty Griffin. Think Zap Mama. Think whoever you like, she's as good as you are going to hear.
