Cover Me Review - October 2, 2011
COVER ME reviews "Rock Out WIth Your Glockenspiel Out" and says:
"While some cover artists re-interpret known songs, Alyson Greenfield is one who goes for full on re-inventions. Her new EP of glockenspiel and piano-centric hip hop covers, entitled Rock Out with Your Glockenspiel Out, offers exercises in juxtaposition that work on many levels. Not only is she using an instrument straight out of third grade music class to play songs with adult lyrical themes, but her shimmering, simple sound and inflected vocals oppose almost every convention of hip-hop."
I'm excited to be playing the 2nd Annual World Maker Faire TODAY at the New York Hall of Science! I play on the Music Stage at 12pm. I'll have a A LOT of my instruments and Masai Electro will be beatboxing with me! Check out everything about Maker Faire here: http://makerfaire.com/newyork
