LA Weekly Picks Samantha Sidley And Alex Lilly

According to LA Weekly, “Samantha Sidley’s 2019 debut album, Interior Person, is startling not because she’s radically experimenting with new sonic ideas but because the proudly lesbian L.A. vocalist upends romantic jazz-pop tradition by infusing it with long-missing tolerance and empathy. Sidley purrs such witty and melodically engaging tunes as ‘I Like Girls’ and ‘Butterfly in My Ass’ with remarkable phrasing and charisma.” The site recommends Sidley’s show tonight (Monday, January 20) at Los Angeles venue Zebulon.

She’s joined on the bill by Alex Lilly, who wrote songs for the album and released a fantastic 2019 LP of her own — 2% Milk. Get both of them on our download page, and read the LA Weekly feature here.
