Swallow Hill Music Association is excited to present Vermillion Lies, a late addition to our concert lineup for March, on Saturday, March 17 at 8 p.m., with their eclectic mix ranging from lyrical folk melodies to raucous circus ballads with toy piano, accordion and assorted instruments.
Vermillion Lies was born in the bygone era of 2004, after sisters Kim and Zoe Boekbinder were reunited after many years. Zoe traveled north from the wild jungle of Central America to teach her sister Kim guitar. After putting themselves on stage with an amplified typewriter and an assortment of other musical objects, the sisters were off and running into the brick wall of life as musicians. The sisters have earned a reputation for a great live performance and beautiful arrangements. They craft their songs with guitars, pianos, typewriters, toy pianos, washboards, pots and pans, broken pipes, old steamer trunks, and lobsters. Their debut album,
Separated By Birth- One album in two acts, was produced by Myles Boisen, who also produced the 2004 Grammy-nominated album,
The Gorey End, by The Tigerlillies and The Kronos Quartet.
Separated By Birth features the outrageous talents of musicians such as violin virtuoso Carla Kihlstedt, percussion genius Gino Robair, trumpet master Chris Grady, and guitar legend Myles Boisen. "...one of my very, very favorite new bands to emerge from the Bay Area in quite some time." - Greg Scharpen, KALX Radio Berkeley.
