“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.

Name is Gabbie. Senior. Love music so much. Wanna be a singer and actress. Love all types of music :)

Hey. it's me, EthansTheatre here and I want to talk to all of you and tell you a little bit about me. I am a 14 year old Freshman in high school. I love to sing, act, sing and act at the same time, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE musical theater. I want to go into college for musical theatre. I am currently involved in 3 theater groups, in and outside of school. I hope to get accepted into Trinity Rep. On my SoundCloud, you'll hear songs from Les Mis, Phantom, Jekyll and Hyde, whatever. I've never been a huge fan of my voice, but I guess I should start putting myself out there so I can get tips on how to improve my voice. Taking into consideration that I am only 14, it is probably good that I start this early so I have more time to improve my voice. Bye!
