NYC indie/folk songstress, Talia Billig, played the Living Room last night, November 16th, along with Daniel Ellis Ferris on back-up vocals and Nick Jozwiack on the stand-up bass and voice. The trio came together through The Orchard Sessions Volume 4, a platform created by Billig where she improvises new music with guest artists and posts the sessions online. The zany but endearing singer brought out her tiny pink piano for the song “You and I,” (featured in the official video) and the threesome harmonized flawlessly. The group played a few songs off of Bilig’s recently released debut album, The Ripple Effect, but the curly-haired singer’s talent manifested itself best when her counterparts left the stage. Singing solo and playing piano on a song the singer declared flippantly “comes from a really deep place of love in my heart that I can’t really find anymore,” she kept the room entranced with the emotionally charged and heartbreaking ballad. Check out Talia’s music on her website, or catch her at Rockwood on December 14th!
