Tall Tales and the Silver Lining

About Me

Tall Tales and the silver lining are from Ventura, Ca. Tall Tales’ sound can be described as an amalgam of Americana Revivalist, and sun-soaked, multi-instrumental experimentation with a focus on ethereal yet rationalized lyrics surrounding the themes of love, nature, and friendship.According to Robin Hilton of NPR, the music embodies “a carefree mix of country folk, with simple guitar strums that mingle playfully with spare rhythms and sweet harmonies.”"It's as obvious as the name of the band itself: the promise of something transcendent, glistening and richly illuminating."- VC Reporter

Into the Night

Into the dark, into the night I will go. Out of the light, out of the cold and unknown. To belong is not to follow. To grow is not to hollow. Be with me now as I am with you my love. Into a branch...
