About Me

lylas is a band from nashville, tennessee. kyle hamlett writes and sings songs, mostly soft and intricately crafted. subtle instruments of colour offer accompaniment to his unique fingerstyle guitar and ukulele plucking. banjo, pedal steel guitar, double bass, theremin, glockenspiel, cello, accordion, and hushed background vocals name a few. traditional american songcraft infused with a baroque sense of melody and a hint of the southern gothic offers a clue. please solve. tin pan christmas rags? we hope you enjoy.
