  • Bio

    The songs of Tall Tales and the Silver Lining ramble down leafy paths through cool forests and dive headlong into the ocean. It's a carefree mix of country folk, with simple guitar strums that mingle playfully with spare rhythms and sweet harmonies. -Robin Hilton, NPR, Second stage .. .. Beld-Jimenez rivals Jonathan Richman on the wide-eyed guilelessness scale, though his performance style is considerably more artful and he doesn't force a sense of naïvete on the material; musically, this material sits somewhere between classic folk-rock and subdued sunshine pop, even if the tone never feels retro or nostalgic, and the mood is upbeat and enthusiastic without pushing the accelerator past an easy-going midtempo. -All music Guide .. .. At its core, Fall In finds that perfect middle ground between poignant, sobering folk and sunny '60s pop (think The Tallest Man on Earth meets The Mamas & The Papas) and only reaffirms the talent and finesse we've come to expect from Tall Tales. -Aly Comingore, SB Independent .. .. The Understanding showcases Beld-Jimenez's affection for breezy melodies and a wistful, acoustic guitar-driven optimism. Call it a coastal epiphany. -Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands LA .. .. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs774.snc4/67487_1693036852890_1446855807_3600043_242732_n.jpg
