(excerpt from) Amy Rigby
Mixes Vulnerability And Experience October 12, 2003 By ERIC R.
DANTON, Courant Rock Critic
Danbury native Lys Guillorn performed
before Rigby with a borrowed band, the Sawtelles. They played a set of brilliant and unusual
songs that borrowed elements from pop, folk and alt-country to create a
startling original sound.
Tunes such as "Impossible" and "Little Wren" subtly
subvert traditional song forms, and the effect is like looking at an image
through cracked glass. With her low, dark voice and sometimes unsettling
lyrics, Guillorn is among the most creative and talented musicians on the Connecticut
scene.
