Music Review: Kit Smith and Tanya Livingstone
Tanya has a great voice. It’s very sweet, clear and pensive. Her guitar backs a soft sound that has defined the acoustic folk musician, whose sound is poignant but light. Even better is her pairing with Kit Smith for their last album, Central Connection, which gives listeners great harmonies and a collaboration that is 10 years in the making. Tanya and Kit transcend the “folk,” “Americana,” and “acoustic” genres, blurring the lines and lulling listeners with their melodic, wispy tones. My current favorites are “More than a Sliver” and “Allison,” which are selections that feature Tanya in the lead, tackling issues like loneliness and divorce. Her lyrics are touching and the harmonies with Kit really pop the lead vocals into focus. The duo has been turning heads in San Francisco and Southern California and play regularly at several venues in the area.
Tanya and Kit are releasing their next set of music, The Hardest Part, on Unicorn Media. Check back here for an exclusive interview with Tanya!
