Established as premier performers in the Washington DC scene, the dynamic husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Annie and Steve Sidley, reach new heights with their indie rock and soul project, The Sidleys. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles, and fueled by Annie's soulful vocals, The Sidleys craft music that is simultaneously memorable, modern and instantly classic. This familial collective often features the musical talents of their sons, Sean, Colin and Ian, both on stage and in the studio.
Having delved into their latest offering, “Green Light”, is the quintessential Saturday night anthem. The funk-infused, soul-soaked track kicks off with a steady rhythm of kick, keys and clean funky guitar, reaching its peak when the bass and additional percussion, reminiscent of bongos, join the mix. The soulful vocals carry emotion, leading to an irresistible hook that introduces an airy ‘70s synth, evoking a nostalgic vibe. The song's momentum builds as it seamlessly transitions back into the verse, enriched by additional instrumentation. The standout bass line and a well-placed guitar solo add a touch of magic to the composition. Around the three-minute mark, a captivating breakdown sets the stage for the grandest crescendo, ensuring an exhilarating ride. From start to finish, "Green Light" is a joyous experience, designed to make bodies move. It's a sonic journey that demands to be turned up, urging listeners to surrender to the rhythm and dance. The Sidleys have delivered a musical delight that resonates with infectious energy and undeniable groove.
