Layla Lane
Singer-songwriter Heday and award-winning pianist Valerie Stern of Layla Lane perform at the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Sunday, February 13, 2011.
Layla Lane is a band that dazzlingly embraces the rock genre, cutting through it with a vintage edge and a sprinkling of gypsy swing. Utilizing an abundance of instruments from across the musical spectrum, Layla Lane consistently showcases the ability to not only capture the imagination of the casual music listener but also to intrigue the most intense of enthusiasts.
Perhaps this is due to the unique influence of both classical music and rock implemented into each recording. Or perhaps it is the depth and emotion in the melodies that come spilling out to the listener, stemming from precise efforts to place each note in its proper place. Whatever it may be, the result is a crystal-clear sort of pop that brings listeners back to what was and forward to what may be.

The Tuffingtons perform at the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Sunday, January 9, 2011. The Tuffingtons are a six-piece unit made up of native Angelenos, who have created their own blend of ska and disco, with a couple nods to bands like Television, Madness and Buzzcocks. They have called their music everything from AM punk to island-arena rock. The Tuffingtons are gaining a reputation for their live shows, which usually consist of something like animal ‘sacrifice’, and there is a very lifelike and life-size puppet. Their shows are better experienced than explained. Their debut full-length record, produced by Jacob Bercovici AKA Mr. Sandwiches (Warpaint, The Lady Tigra) will be out in the spring. Their current EP Egregious will be released this summer.
