Meet Milo Greene of the  WILDCARD NIGHT on Friday, July 29, 2011 (8PM to 10PM). Like what you hear? Then join us for a night of Luck n' Love at the Sierra Inn's T-Bar!

The three voices of Milo Greene weave and blend into one voice, creating songs that live and breathe simultaneously as many and as one, with the breadth of an omniscient, collective consciousness. These melodies invoke long drives down the California coast, the feeling of leaving home; they seem most appropriate listened to on late-night subway rides from Manhattan to Brooklyn and home. There is something meditative about it, as though it asks to be listened to alone and given one's full attention. The lyrics are vague enough to be questioned, yet specific enough to conjure certain smells, tastes and feelings, the idea of an intimate moment and the implicit sadness present in all things simply beautiful. These words flow along with music that is both rhythmically and melodically driven, creating landscapes and a geography specific to each song: colors, oceans, ships, seasons, trajectories. Guitar lines swell and recede as ocean waves would. A slight dissonance can be sensed underneath a seemingly passive exterior; a tension can be found in passing tones that invoke jazz harmony and the sense of waiting for something really big to happen, a sense of growing inevitably older while grasping at the threads of youth. There is a sense of emotional maturity behind Milo Greene that is not present in most contemporary "pop" music. It is the perspective of someone looking back on life or lost love, of standing on a mountaintop overlooking a vast landscape. There is the sense that everything becomes clearer at a distance, less emotionally tumultuous and perhaps more meaningful. When the songs reach their closing, the listener is like a dreamer waking from a dream that can only vaguely be remembered.
