Angela Taylor in Baltimore
Posted on Feb 25, 2010 under Entertainment, Travel | No CommentBaltimore is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the rhythms of life in a cosmopolitan setting. The city is very rich in resources, both physical and ephemeral, and some of the most exciting things here depend on the moment and the talent of the local artists. There are plenty of attractions here, a gorgeous waterfront, and an extremely lively downtown scene. One can reasonably expect to have plenty of good days shopping and exploring, spectacular meals, and evenings of fun and entertainment. There’s some great hotels here that can make the stay truly delightful.
There are plenty of talented people in town, thankfully, to provide a sure and steady stream of interesting new work. Some of the musicians are great at pleasing the crowds, some play excellent covers, and some make their own songs, and push the boundaries of their respective forms, creating new paths for the listeners to follow. One of the latter is Angela Taylor, and it seems as though she’s spectacularly apt at pleasing crowds as well, moving them through wonderful evenings in different styles and textures.
She’s an indie folk singer from here who’s got plenty of chops. She teaches at Peabody, and has won a Best of Baltimore award, as well as being a finalist for the Lilith Fair. She also has a pretty impressive list of creds for recording, and knows her way around electronic music very well. All of this adds together when she sings, where the voices inside burst out, sometimes with a purr and sometimes a roar, but always with an edge of empowerment, and messages of survival. There is a lot of darkness here, but always with a very keen edge of hope on this knife of despair, making a delicate balance that is something to behold.
