Liam Kazar

Liam Kazar (born Liam Cunningham) is a singer guitarist who was active in the Chicago area music scene for many years going back to the beginnings of Kids These Days in 2009 and only recently began working as a solo artist. His music has an easy-going style that captures the sound of classic '70s soft rock oriented pop, which he combines with a relatively even-tempered kind of funk. His grooves are not aggressive, and neither is anything else about his music. It is cool and relaxed, generally with a nice, Beck-like upbeat bounce. He often sings in a David Byrne tone as well, minus the irony. There are some clear retro vibes in his overall sound, but it is calibrated in a way that it sounds completely contemporary.
