Tilla

@tillaonline

The band Tilla formed after Taylor Scott (lead vocal) and Nathan France (producer, sax player) organized a writing retreat in New Orleans in early 2022. While the band shapeshifts for each project and performance, its core members include Eric Newble (lead vocal), Morgan Ryser (pianist), Evan Ryser (vocalist), Andy Jones (bass), Quinn Jacobson (guitar), and Jalen McCullough (drums). Their songs layer thoughtful lyricism with timeless analog sensibilities and contemporary electronic innovations. Their work blends and bends genres and conventions by stretching across Blues, Soul, R&B, Dance, Jazz, and Gospel. Tilla released their debut EP, Term of Endearment (2023), which is filled to the brim with spirit, character, care, happy accidents, and so much more. The band’s distinct multi-vocal harmonies engage audiences in an intimate encounter where the song is the room. In the spring of 2024, Tilla was the artist-in-residence for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Hip-Hop Arts Residency program. The band headlined the annual Line Breaks Festival with their 50-minute musical production, Heaven Inside, at the Overture Center for the Performing Arts. Heaven Inside debuted the band’s latest original songs. The show featured performances from the legendary Kongolese percussionist Papa Titos Sompa (New Orleans, LA) and organist Leotha Stanley (Madison, WI). Together their musical contributions help make this project as delightfully ethereal as it is grounding. While occasionally popping out for house shows and festivals, the band has been busy with recording new music.

Loveday Funck

@lovedayfunck

Louisiana based artist, Loveday Funck started her career in art later in life, but her love of history and whimsy have been a constant interest. Making use of a talent for the manipulation of digital images, she creates a twisted fairy tale world, finding her inspiration in the centuries old buildings and graveyards of New Orleans and the unique sites that dot the Acadiana landscape. Her art has been recognized in international juried exhibitions as well as competitions. Her work often amuses as her sense of humor is revealed in juxtaposing the world of formal, Victorian era photography with the portraits of modern pets or other animals. Working from antique imagery and her own photography, Loveday Funck turns her eye to the intersection of history and the fantastic. Combining the surreal experience of her heart with the images of historic Louisiana she creates a whimsical, colorful, and usually macabre world. Come and partake in its skewed sacrament.
