Dylan LeBlanc, full band and Nikki Talley
DYLAN LEBLANC KNOWS SECOND CHANCES DONT COME AROUND OFTEN.
BUT, NEITHER DO VOICES LIKE HIS.
Overwhelmed by the speed at which his gift took him from Applebees server to the new Neil Young in a matter of months, he walked away from an unlikely major label deal after releasing two critically acclaimed albums. He slipped into a blur of booze and self-doubt. Exhausted and damaged at just 23-years-old, Dylan came home to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to write a new life for himself.
In between the moments of clarity and a few familiar falls, he also wrote a new album, Cautionary Tale: a collection of shimmering, arresting songs with the same haunting vocals that caught the attention of Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen, now with a sharpened edge honed by hastened maturity.
Nikki Talley
Nikki Talley Out from the Harbor: I know, there are seven million singer-songwriters out on the road these days, but this woman delivers the type of North Carolina country you wished your local radio station played. -No Depression
Nikki Talley has traveled a lot of miles these past few years and called numerous places home, but we in Western NC still want to claim her as one of the areas finest singer-songwriters. Always genuine and down to earth, she and her partner Jason Sharp deliver her latest songs on Out From the Harbor in a beautiful, laid-back style just in time for a beautiful, laid-back summer. -Martin Anderson WNCW Music Director & Host
250,000 miles click over, Nikki Talley just smiles.
After 4 1/2 years of hard touring, 150-200 shows annually, Nikki continues traveling on, bringing her gorgeous voice & thoughtful songs all across the nation. Hailing from the mountains of western North Carolina, its only fitting that her songs are as eclectic as the state that boasts the mountains and the sea. Along with her guitar & clawhammer style banjo, her musical partner & husband Jason Sharp adds resonant lush guitar tones as well as harmonies to round out the duos sound.
Out From The Harbor is a collection of 10 songs recorded at Ashevilles Echo Mountain Studio. With only a few other additions to the record, including Michael Ashworth (Steep Canyon Rangers) on bass & tasteful percussion, the stage is set for Nikkis soulful vocal and storied lyrics while Jason Sharps guitar soars alongside.
As expected Out From The Harbor often travels through the element of water be it the sea, rivers, rain or tears. Nikkis silken voice is on full display. The album opens with Rainy Day, a song about how sometimes you need a rainy day and that all the sunshine in California couldnt make this go away. Lets Go Out On The Water recalls a day of fishing with friends, a pastime Nikki & Jason enjoy while making musical tracks throughout the U.S. Whether its from the hills of haunted Appalachia, the seashores of the Gulf or the dry dusty heat of the desert, each song takes the listener along on the journeys that sometimes mirror the everyday adventures of the musical couple especially on the track Travelin On with lyrics Travelin on just like we were kids on a merry go round and round / Were somewhere in the middle of chasing our tails and chasing our dreams down.
You can find Nikki & Jason chasing their dreams down in their van, Blue Bell all across the country playing festivals, venues & house concerts.
One thing she isnt: afraid of the microphone. Talley has undeniable stage presence Mountain Express
Talleys always silken, yet adaptable voice is on full display on this album, whispering sweet nothings to the listener on some songs, belting out her passion with full desperate power on others and crooning out her heartache honky-tonk style. Bold Life Magazine
