ARTIST INFO: ILLITERATE LIGHT
“Illiterate Light’s Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran used to run an organic farm to pay the bills while they worked on music. When the crops failed, they sold edible weeds under the name Wild Mix. The name could also be applied to their energetic live shows, with the two playing a full band’s worth of instruments. Close your eyes and you hear a four or five-piece band. Jeff handles lead vocals, guitar and bass, which he plays on a keyboard with his feet. Jake provides backup vocals and propels the songs from a customized stand-up drum kit. This isn’t a gimmick; the music on the duo’s self-titled release holds up.” – Jon Hart, NPR
