Album Notes

"Chicago-area singer/songwriter Louise Kelly distinguishes herself with her debut album Cave Paintings & Silent Movies. This bright, upbeat pop-jazz collection has an overall young sound with an old, jazzy soul. Louise sings straight from the heart telling a story of love and life with stylish accompaniment. From the catchy chorus of “Lonely In Love” to the smooth ballad of “What a Night, No Stars” listeners are engaged with smart musicality and original lyrics. Louise takes center stage with her vocal and piano performance in this album. Adding to the soulful mix, supplying additional head-bopping grooves are musicians Michael Krieglstein on bass; CJ Grandberry and Maxx Popp on drums; and Zach Biggus and Mark Domanico on guitar."

Recorded at Velvet Arts Studios; Glen Ellyn, Illinois and Wentz Concert Hall; Naperville, Illinois. Produced by MIchael Krieglstein. Tracks recorded in Wentz Concert Hall (all the solo piano/voice songs) are live performances in an acoustically incredible space. Listen for the reverb of a dimly-lit stage in a dark and gorgeous hall.
