Caitlin Jemma + Body Language

To experience a Caitlin Jemma performance is to witness an artist blossoming in real time. Her sound fills the room with an assertion that remains open to all that it encounters, and each song is a living, growing entity that reflects the melding of a myriad of influences. Her versatility emerges through an honest exploration of her art, and her identity remains steady as she traverses the musical spectrum of soul, country, and mystical folk.

Body Language will take listeners on a road trip from Colorado to Oregon, California to Alaska, and right back on home, wherever that is. Their first EP “The Dog Bed,” recorded in Summer 2018, is a showcase of their stripped down instrumentation, intimate lyricism, and bare bound harmonies. The music is a home-brewed project of sounds and lyrics collected and co-authored by Jacey LaManna and Kyle Lutz. Live show arrangement ebbs and flows with Lutz and LaManna swapping among guitar, bass, vocals, and mandolin. Collaborators on drums, bass, and vocals often join onstage.

Body Language is meant to be shared and distributed among friends, like a stone soup at the potluck. Friends of the soup have described the music as raw, complex, magnetic, dynamic, foot stomping, and drenched in love. Much is owed to the undertow of music as it exists to itself.
