Come celebrate the release of The Orange Songs, the newest CD by prolific Tampa singer-musician Jeremy Gloff.
The ever restless Gloff was in the studio recording a full-band followup to his critically acclaimedRomantico but halted production midway, deciding to record instead a batch of deeply personal, stripped-down songs. (The Orange Songs, incidentally, served as Gloff's final project for a college psychology course. Grade: A.)
The disc is haunting in its candidness and commentary on 20-somethings in their social scenes, be they young gay guys, young women with body image complexes or local musicians filled with annoying hubris.
Gloff has a perceptive eye and a gift for conveying stories in bouncy, wise three-minute ditties.
Jeremy Gloff performs at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at Sacred Grounds Coffee Shop, 4819 E Busch Blvd., Tampa. (813) 983-0837.
