Xolie Morra & The Strange Kind are lined up on the Naches Heights Vineyard stage Saturday at 2:45. Xolie Morra & The Strange Kind was formed as a solo project, accompanied by many of Xolie’s friends, but in 2012 It was made official when the band was joined by a new, permanent lineup in Seattle WA. Maxmillion Browne (Guitar), Brett Hutchinson (Drums) & Christian LieBig (Bass). The Strange Kind has a very unique sound, blending classic rock sass and honest modern melodic style, reminiscent of the Pretenders, Tom Petty, as mind blowing and breath taking as Cold Play with a country kick in the pants. The upcoming EP, mixes Xolie Morra’s edgy vocals and moving melodic compositions with Intense Epic Rock production in it’s purest form to concoct a record boiling over with ultra-catchy gems that move the soul. But it isn’t just the sound that gets attention, it’s the message. Xolie is a unique artist because she has something not many artists have. Like James Durban from American Idol, Xolie Morra Cogley has Asperger’s Syndrome, a pervasive developmental disorder in the High Functioning range of the Autism Spectrum. She uses the unique abilities afforded to “Aspies” to stand out musically and affords an awkward sensibility to her performances. Most recently, Xolie and her band made their major TV debut on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on January 7, 2014. The band was chosen through a national contest through the music site “OurStage” to perform live on the show. They were given the opportunity to play not 1 but 2 songs on the show and was repeated that same week on January 10, 2014. In addition, Xolie won another contest through OurStage to perform at the Lilith Festival in 2010, so Xolie and her crew are starting to gain exposure nationwide. CF Tip: Jimmy Kimmel! Xolie travels with an awesome hairless dog named Little… he’s just about the coolest dog you’ll ever meet. https://youtube/watch?v=4vrGvBWitCE
