Charlie Millard SOTE

Charlie Millard's music has been described often, maybe too often, as cinematic.  We're not sure what else to say about songs that tell their stories with such a masterful sweep, such a diversity of swirling sound generated by only three players. He has also been compared often to Elton John, which is a little lazy as piano based rock bands go, but also a little true:  the Charlie Millard band exists in the headspace of an early song like Madman Across The Water, riding the tension between beauty and madness. As for me, I'm going with:  what if Tom Waits could sing like an angel?  A show by the Charlie Millard Band is always a welcome spectacle, and you'll be swishing these melodies around your brain pan for weeks to come.
