Youth Reference
Jazz and reggae informed earthy electronica. Instrumental music, complex, hypnotic & eerie. Its seductively cerebral.

Great use of the space between the notes, rhythmic and rich. Good to trip and groove to.

Ken's guitar and Calliope's keys found a kindred spirit in Bristol's programming and mixing skills. All three share a mutual love of the blues but have found instrumental music matched to moods and atmosphere to be their strength.Band/artist history
After playing the Midwest and selling cassettes out of the back of their cars, Youth Reference moved to Chicago where they were soon arrested for pandering. The fuse was lit! Big name artists based there in the 90's brought the band the opportunity to mingle and cajole with top musicians. Working day jobs in the broadcast news industry to make ends meet, the band soon realized it was taking itself MUCH too seriously! They lost the dreary all black attire and fingernails and embraced a much more hip, know-it-all attitude, popular with their peers. Once again they were arrested for pandering. After completing their community service, Youth Reference resolved to be themselves no matter what the cost.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. Rent parties, poetry slams, mall openings.
