Gabriel Kahane

Add Date: August 23 

Artist: Gabriel Kahane 

Album: Where Are the Arms 

Label: 2nd Story 

Genre: Folk pop 

Comments: The son of conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, Gabriel Kahane writes folk and pop songs that incorporate his classical training. The tunes on Where Are the Arms start with piano or acoustic guitar, and then build into full orchestral flourishes, with horns, woodwinds and strings fleshing out the melodies. The end result is a very interesting mix of traditional song composition and modern pop songcraft; check out "LA", "Charming Disease" and "Icebox".
