A Bay Area songwriter who has been setting the bar high for bedroom studio producers for over two decades, Kelley Stoltz headlines a show at the Ivy Room in Albany this Friday with a rare opening set from local all-star Bob Seger tribute act Total B.S.
While he initially worked in the music industry while living in New York City during the ’90s, Stoltz didn’t release his first album until 1999 after he had relocated to San Francisco. Recorded entirely solo on four-track over the space of several years,announced Stoltz as a talented songwriter with a gift for crafting lush, lo-fi pop psychedelia.
His debut EP in 2005 and subsequent string of albums for the label offered further proof of how Stoltz had refined his knack for Beatles/Beach Boys hooks and harmonies while maintaining the sometimes fractured sonic aesthetic of his home recordings. He also branched out and helped other Bay Area artists in the studio, including garage rockers Thee Oh Sees and fellow songwriter Bart Davenport.
Stoltz and his band featuring Baker and guitarist/keyboard player Doug Hilsinger also took the stage last Februarywith a psychedelic light show by Mad Alchemy and Stoltz singing from a third-story window to be in compliance with the COVID restrictions that were then in place for live performance. In November, Stoltz and company played the Great American Music Hall for a special show marking the 20th anniversary of. When he originally self-released the album two decades ago, Stoltz pressed a limited number of records that he adorned with unique hand-painted covers from reclaimed thrift store LP jackets. Those copies have become coveted collectors items, fetching hundreds of dollars on eBay.features a treasure trove of bonus material.
In addition to three current and onetime members of Bay Area rock juggernauts Drunk Horse and Howlin Rain — guitarist Eli Eckert , guitarist/keyboardist Joel Robinow , bassist Cyrus Comiskey — Total B.S. also includes Comets on Fire drummer Utrillo Wind Pileri Kushner , saxophonist Matt Waters, percussionist Hoyt Faye and back-up vocalists Susan Appe and Dominique Banuelos-Matz.
