Glizzy Gillespie
Quirky Central Florida duo redefines folk music with wit and charm.
Based in Ocala, this anti-folk outfit entertains audiences with its minimalist compositions and narrative lyrics. The duo behind the band, Taylor Schoenborn and Kyle Corley, explores life's eccentricities with a ukulele, a banjo, a bass guitar, and an infectious sense of wonder.
Glizzy Gillespie's lyrical delivery is stripped-down and boldly unconventional. Like notable anti-folk artists such as Kimya Dawson and Moldy Peaches, the duo employs well-crafted lyrics to satirize the music industry and society at large. While their melodies usually carry an upbeat and quirky vibe, Dizzy Gillespie's lyrics often convey contrasting emotions. Listeners find this approach in songs such as "Love is Like a Cigarette."
The anti-folk scene sought artists to provide an alternative to traditional folk music, and Glizzy Gillespie is answering that call.
