LAYLA LANE SPECIAL LIVE
BIO
Somewhere in the bustling alleys of the pop music metropolis lies L.A.-based rock duo Layla Lane. With a catalogue of songs in three languages and a live show that can charm even the most resilient crowd, members Heday and Valerie have mastered their instruments to deliver a one-of-akind brand of dueling piano-guitar revelry. Layla Lane combines exquisite arrangements and clever harmonies for a style that is equal parts 1960's pop, gypsy swing, and good old-fashioned rock n' roll. All in the context of catchy pop tunes that rarely clock in past three minutes, the resulting sound is both playfully nostalgic and uncommonly fresh.
After guitarist Heday left his native Japan to pursue his music education in the States, he honed his skills collaborating with such artists as Jim Keltner, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the Beatles' Ringo Starr. He joined forces with Los Angeles-born pianist Valerie Stern in early 2009. An accomplished classical musician, Valerie has performed with members of the L.A. Philharmonic and even doubled for actress Lindsay Lohan playing a Chopin Waltz in the film I Know Who Killed Me.
