BIOGRAPHY
Nizlopi is Luke Concannon and John Parker, two friends who’ve been writing and playing music together since their early teens. Luke handles the heartfelt lyrics, the endlessly soulful vocals, and his beloved guitar, while JP sets jaws-dropping with his masterful double-bass playing, his breathtaking human beat-boxing, and a little extra guitar playing of his own for good measure. Together these boys have created a genre defying sound all of their own that’s earned them plenty of love around the UK, and now America and Europe!
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT NIZLOPI:

“Ah man, that shit is f****d up, holy christ you aint supposed to be that good!" – Kelly Joe Phelps
"The UK's most talented and exciting live acoustic duo - these boys have something very, very special." – Grammy award winning producer Bob Marlette

Half These Songs Are About You is an album that upon first listen you won't want to take out of your CD player except to share with friends. Catchy pop/folk riffs that are highlisted by the song JCB, a track which really showcases the range of these artists as it builds into a twangy upbeat ending. There are jazzy, reggae, and soul infuences throughout but don't hold your breath if you're looking for the R&B/beatbox element- it's there but for how frequently those terms are thrown around in reviews for this album it's pretty minor.
Most of the album is mellow but leaves you feeling uplifted after a listening. If you're a fan of Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Tracy Chapman, or Counting Crows you'll enjoy this CD.
