Smile Like a Candy Jar
by Meet The Seavers
Enjoy Meet the Seavers's "Smile Like a Candy Jar."
While their hometown of Nashville, TN is known primarily as the Mecca of Country-Western music, Meet the Seavers happily shatters this stereotype completely. Beginning with an unusual instrumentation of employing Upright Bass and Vocals, Meet the Seavers incorporates elements of Jazz, Swing, Vaudeville, odd time signatures and non-standard changes. Their unique musical compositions are augmented by a lyrical canvas, which revels in its sublime and masterful use of metaphor and imagery. The end result is something remarkable: the invention of a new genre of music called MERGE. Employing elements ranging from fashion to boxing themes, the larger than life stage presence of Dorothy Gilmore-Seavers invokes a mood reminiscent of the era of cocktail lounges and smoke-filled nightclubs. Larger performances include the addition of drums and a small horn section. These shows often include selections from “Throwing Stones at the Sun,” an original musical comedy about the Spanish Inquisition.
