Bliss Bliss at Mockingbird
2023-07-13 19:00 | The Mockingbird Theater at The Factory at Franklin, 230 Franklin Road, Bldg 6, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
“Sometimes music becomes cinema. Some people call this synesthesia when colors are heard and sounds become light and hue. That is the sound track of BlissBliss. These guys are on the money when it comes to tracking their inner world but have this joie de vivre that redeems the sadness, heals the wound, and offers it all up with gratitude.”
David Bunker-Consultant-Storyville Collective/Former Head of A&R, REX Records
Lang & Renee are veterans of the music industry as signed label artists, as well as having toured and performed as background vocalists and musicians for and with artists like Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Michael McDonald, and Alex Harvey. As BlissBliss, they’ve created their own brand of Sophistipop/Yacht Rock, pulling from influences like Steely Dan, John Mayer, and Sting but creating a sound unlike any of them.
Their songs have charted on CHR radio, (Fight For Peace-#1) and the Billboard Dance charts as well, through numerous dance remixes of their songs done by world renowned DJs/Producers such as Dave Aude, Hex Hector, and Bimbo Jones.
“BlissBliss’s dedication to the legacy of sophisti-pop is sure to resonate with fans of the genre, but BlissBliss is no mere revivalist act. Lang and Renee have forged a unique and polished sound with an attention to detail and a level of musicianship often missing in modern popular music.” JakeJenkins/InSync Magazine
