Announcing Alternative Folk Project Tuesday Strip
Tuesday Strip took shape in 2005 as a solo alternative folk project of artist Kasey Loman, formerly half of Tulsa's acoustic duo Dulcinea. Loman's earnest lyrics (''I still live life like a nervous little kid / Without the innocence that goes with it.'') and soulful, yet laid-back, delivery combine to give Tuesday Strip's music a very silvery quality that listeners appreciate.
Loman began her personal exploration of music and the arts long before her days of composing for Tuesday Strip. At 16, her grandfather bought her a little acoustic guitar. ''I couldn't leave it alone,'' she admits. ''I started writing immediately.'' Her ongoing love affair with creative expression is apparent in her online web comic that she publishes every Tuesday, her tendency to sketch at any given opportunity, her graphic and web design portfolio, her living room full of paintings and her growing collection of guitars. Not only is she a guitarist and songwriter, but she plays the dulcimer and sings her own vocals as well.
''Basically, I can't imagine not playing music,'' says Loman. ''It's just something that I have to do. I wanna be out there playing and being inspired by others.'' She derives inspiration from countless artists, including favorites such as Melissa Ferrick, The Fiery Furnaces, Joni Mitchell, John Spencer, The Decemberists, Gillian Welch, Devotchka, Sleater-Kinney, Toots, Ben Kweller, Ani Difranco, Neko Case and Edie Brickell among others. ''I could go on forever...'' she prefaces, her voice trailing. She pauses in silence for just a few moments before continuing, ''...Lovers, PJ Harvey, Sufjan Stevens, Beth Orton, Cat Power, Haley Bonar....''
Loman's fondness for multiple genres translates into a boldly experimental approach to Tuesday Strip. She is unafraid to expose her emotions through her songwriting, and her sincerity is truly relatable, often resulting in a very intriguing sound--at once simple and colorful, somber and triumphant.
