MUSICIANS & CREATORS

After many years of looking out at the Chicago urban horizon, Diane Izzo opted for an exodus and found herself in the northern mountains of New Mexico, where light burns gold upon the open sky. From many trips out west to the natural world, sprang the inspiration behind the most recent song cycle, tentatively titled, AGE OF HONEY. Recorded and co-produced over a year back in Chicago, with multi-instrumentalist Jim Becker of Chicago’s, Paulina Hollers and currently an integral facet in Chicago’s native collective, Califone. The record also received contributions from the varied members of Califone as well as Eric Johnson, singer/songwriter of the Fruitbats. The open sounds offer a quieter dream landscape, with the CD release soon to be announced.

With a few years under the belt of New Mexico, Diane & Marco began to envision and write a script for the  upcoming film titled, Black & Gold.
