Will Taylor & Strings Attached: Pink Floyd October 8, 2011

Austin, Texas- Once per month Will Taylor and Strings Attached re-imagine the sounds and songs of a classic rock album or band. In October, Lisa Tingle, Dave Quanbury, and Dave Madden join the ensemble play the music of Pink Floyd in a new and innovative way live under the oak trees at The Nutty Brown Café. This concert is the third of three concerts for the group's Classic Rock Series, all of which are being performed at The Nutty Brown Café. Every concert is opened with a set of original music by members of the band and the guest artist.

About Strings Attached
Will Taylor and Strings Attached is an Austin musical institution. Ten years ago we began a concert series of collaborations with musical giants like Shawn Colvin, Bob Schneider and Pearl Jam. In the last few years we've expanded our repertoire to include classic Album/Band tribute shows. These are not simply replicas of the original material: they're intelligent and inquisitive interpretations. They pay homage to the music while dressing it up in a little different jewelry. Since then Will Taylor and Strings Attached has presented over 50 concert collaborations to more than 12,000 audience members.

In 2006, over 1600 Beatles fans saw Strings Attached re-create the entire White album. They've also presented the music of Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel and Jimi Hendrix. Guest artists they've collaborated with include: Shawn Colvin, Joe Ely,Dar Williams, James McMurtry, Fastball's Tony Scalzo, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Ruthie Foster, Abra Moore, Darden Smith, Tish Hinojosa, Sara Hickman, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Eliza Gilkyson, Slaid Cleaves, Suzi Stern, Beth Ulman, Kellye Gray, Patrice Pike, Guy Forsyth, Michael Fracasso, Jimmy LaFave, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Albert and Gage, Jon Dee Graham, John Aielli, Barbara K, Kimmie Rhodes, Ian Moore, Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez.

"Wow, we are so grateful to you for such an incredible evening. George and I were so high from the creative energy and the almost other-worldly sense of collaboration. What a divine life you have to be able to participate in such moments of group creativity. It made me jealous that my work world is so isolated. Ah well, it was just heavenly to be part of the experience. We can't wait for the next Strings Attached concert."- Sarah Bird

"Imaginatively orchestrated... multi-faceted... darting lyricism, and occasionally pensive moods, Taylor makes the grade with his deft touch and improvisatory skills."-The Washington Post

'As to the quality of the music and the professionalism, this production is far superior over the numerous recordings issued by the major record companies.' 'Esquire Magazine
"It is truly a pleasure to work with Will Taylor and Strings Attached, to hear my music produced in such a sensitive and innovative form, and most importantly to be supportive of CASA's tireless efforts on behalf of abused children."?' Grammy nominee Eliza Gilkyson

"It's a credit to Taylor that an album this eclectic holds so strong at the seams... his inspired creativity and often amazing use of the violin make this album transcend the experimental to become art" - Christopher Hess, Austin Chronicle
