Jenny and Tyler (legal free download!!!)

I frequent the net a lot to find some interesting music because the radio ain't offering it anymore.

Normally i visit some music blogs and then noisetrade, a beautiful site co-created by singer/songwriter Derek Webb (who's songs are featured on Grey's Anatomy).

And i love what i found! Introducing Jenny and Tyler!!!

They've been making music since they 2004 but i just discovered them now. And so glad i did!

How do they sound like you might ask. well, think Norah Jones hanging out at Starbucks with M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel drinking espresso brewed by Natalie Merchant and served by Jack Johnson and you get the unique combination of folk, jazz, country, and a hint of some funky Johnson-que beat thrown in.

Here's an excerpts from the bio:

What began as a brief meeting on a church bus ride quickly blossomed into a friendship based upon a shared passion for creating good music. Tyler and Jenny met at the University of Delaware in August of 2004 and began playing and writing music shortly there after.

Originally from the Newark, DE area Tyler was in his sophomore year at UD, studying marketing, voice, and music management. However, he really focused most of his time on songwriting, recording, and music production. Freshly graduated from Ocean Springs High School in the bayous of Mississippi, Jenny spent years in the South writing songs with friends and family members, but didn't truly expand upon her creative energies until meeting Tyler.

Jenny and Tyler bring out the best in each other. From distinct melodies, beautifully complex backing vocals, fresh rhythms, and lyrics that speak boldly and directly to the souls of listeners, Jenny and Tyler strive to create music that is honest and genuinely good.

Experimenting with a wide spectrum of instruments, Jenny's bluegrass background meshes with Tyler's jazz roots to produce a new genre of music; one that defies being boxed up and labeled. Listeners describe Jenny and Tyler as a combination of folk, jazz, and pop. Some might say "Norah Jones meets Jack Johnson."

Jenny and Tyler's friendship quickly developed into romance and on June 30, 2007 the couple was married on the beach in Avalon, NJ.

On December 2007 the pair released their first full-length independent album, "A Prelude." Song titles on the album include, "Product of Culture," "American Dream," and the epic, "Plans for Us." The lyrics speak to the depravity of a society that exploits women and money in favor of superficiality. Yet the songs profess a deep hope for change and faith in a God who saves and provides purpose. The album's lighter side includes songs such as "Nashville," and "Love's Going to Last" which speak of two types of love: the romantic and the unconditional.

Upon Jenny's graduation from UD in December the pair plans to pursue music full time. For now, you'll find them loving life and each other while tucked away in their tiny apartment eating pancakes and cookie dough.

Their first full length album, A Prelude, is made available through Noisetrade where you get to pay what you want or if you're broke or have no visa or something, you can download it for free. All you have to do is provide five emails of your friends as a way of telling them to check out this magnificient tresure you found.
