You can listen to an archive of a duo performance live over the phone from my apartment in Connecticut on "Phoning it In" WMBR 88.1 Cambridge, MA hosted by Nadav Carmel on May 11, 2006. The show's motto is "lo fi is the right fi," and I suggest you imagine the sound coming out of a Victrola.
You can listen to our duo spot from 2005 on April 8th's Profiles in Folk WSHU 91.1 FM Fairfield, CT. I was interviewed quite extensively by Steve Winters, Ryan and I played live music and Steve played some cuts from the self-titled CD. Here's what we played live: Steel Pier, How Many, How Fast?, Fine Tooth Comb, and Winged Victory.

I make music in an unnamed genre (avant-psych-twang/clinical blues?) and my name is Lys Guillorn. My
name is pronounced "Liss Guh-LORN". I write songs, play a bunch of instruments (mainly guitar, but also keys/organ, lap steel, banjo, mandolin, etc.), and sing. Lately I've been playing a lot of duo gigs with Ryan Blessey (guitar, lap steel, vocals). I've got a few shows coming up with Ryan, my brother Michael Guillorn on bass, and Matt Moadel on drums.
