RICHARD LLOYD
Richard Lloyd is a legendary electric guitarist, singer/songwriter, and founding member of Television, a band that rose to fame with their 1977 debut release, Marquee Moon, widely regarded as one of greatest albums in rock and roll history and perhaps the most defining and highly influential release of the 1970's New York rock scene. Lloyd embarked on a solo career after Television disbanded, releasing seven solo albums and working as a guitarist, session musician, and band member with Matthew Sweet, John Doe, Rocket from the Tombs, and more. Released in October 2017, Lloyd's book, Everything Is Combustible: Television, CBGB's and Five Decades of Rock and Roll: The Memoirs of an Alchemical Guitarist establishes Lloyd as a masterful storyteller and insightful writer with an acerbic and razor-sharp wit.
STATIC FALLS
Formed in the “before times” (pre-2020), Static Falls is defined by the songwriting of Nic Powers, supported by veteran Cincinnati musicians Joe Suer, Jeremy Lesniak, Brendan Bogosian, and Tom White. Drawing on a depth of experience gained while playing in a diverse array of bands including The Sweep, Tigerlilies, Ohio Knife, Culture Queer, Kry Kids and Godholly, the members of Static Falls came of age in the 90’s and therefore can speak to that era honestly and without irony, while still creating a contemporary sound for the 21st century.
