GREG KLYMA biography www.myspace.com/davidmorreale Greg Klyma is a walkin’ talkin’ rootin’ tootin’ three ring circus unto himself. You’ve heard a little about him and everything you’ve heard is good, but… rumor has it he’s a touch… excitable. Now, imagine yourself going to a show. If all you have is time for one song, or two, or three… well, to miss the rest of the show is to miss ALL of the show. Like going to a three-ring circus and only seeing one ring. Klyma (only his friends call him Klyma, but since everyone is his friend, you can call him Klyma too) is even settling down a little lately. His former peripatetic existence has been called into question by pangs of the heart and tired feet. Now if you want to catch him, you have to be alert for the pitter patter-CLUNK of boot-heels outside your door, passing into the night and back to Boston where he now hangs himself up to sleep every night. He’s been doing the touring musician thing for a Very Long Time and yet one never leaves a show thinking, “I’ve seen that before.” He jangles, sometimes in spangles, he harangues, he flings himself and his songs out into the room and if “yikes!” is your only impression, well… at least you’ll never have seen that before… As a fan once exclaimed, "Geez, he sings with his whole body!" But, gentle reader, we left you deciding on the show… Should you go? Well, of course you should go. Should you stay for the whole thing? Of course you should. There’s never been a payoff like you’ll get at a Klyma show. Happy Endings don’t even begin to describe it. Klyma is half Broadway, half Vaudeville... think Fred Astaire in cowboy boots and hobo jeans. Drop in a KERR-PLUNK of real heart and you've got an idea of how cool the Klyma Experience really is. “pianomandonation” is his latest release and, on it he announces his presence with the authority of a seasoned Vaudevillian… or Vaudevillain. Greg hits the ground in stride with “Kale Store” and doesn’t let up on the entertainment until the bonus track “Static on The Airwaves” is done. At times he is the dreaded “beatle-esque” (and he pulls it off) or irreverent (“Tongue”) or weirdly romantic, (“Limb” is a very cool love song with a twist). Should you go? You’re still debating? Go! I guarantee, you’ll never have seen that before. Greg is playing (insert venue) at (insert time and date). |
