Event
Markley & Balmer, jazzy folk duo, play LilFest in Keene Valley Congregational Church, NY Saturday, Jul 20. 9
BRUCE BALMER was born a guitar player in Margaretville, NY, from a musical family. After music at Marlboro College, he played lead guitar for rock, jazz, and country bands, and composed for dance performance and film (including credits on a Bill Plympton animated film). He is a singer/songwriter recently of the NYC area. He and his thousand pound upright piano have now officially transplanted themselves from Texas to the Catskills and Woodstock, NY. He pounds nails while singing.
LISA MARKLEY was born a three-and-a-half pound Capricorn with a set of lungs. She is a survivor of the University of North Texas where she played trombone in the lab bands, sang in the Jazz Singers, skipped out on music history classes, composed suitably atonal pieces for an assortment of instruments, and crashed the hard-drive on the Synclavier (many times). Upon graduation, she took a long hard look at what drove her musically and decided to put down her trombone and turn full-force to singing and writing songs.
