Tuesday Strip took shape in 2005 as a solo alternative folk
project of artist Kasey Loman, formerly half of Tulsa's acoustic
duo Dulcinea. Loman's earnest lyrics (''I still live life like a
nervous little kid / Without the innocence that goes with it.'')
and soulful, yet laid-back, delivery combine to give Tuesday
Strip's music a very silvery quality that listeners appreciate.

Loman began her personal exploration of music and the arts long
before her days of composing for Tuesday Strip. At 16, her
grandfather bought her a little acoustic guitar. ''I couldn't
leave it alone,'' she admits. ''I started writing immediately.''
Her ongoing love affair with creative expression is apparent in
her online web comic that she publishes every Tuesday, her
tendency to sketch at any given opportunity, her graphic and web
design portfolio, her living room full of paintings and her
growing collection of guitars. Not only is she a guitarist and
songwriter, but she plays the dulcimer and sings her own vocals
as well.

''Basically, I can't imagine not playing music,'' says Loman.
''It's just something that I have to do. I wanna be out there
playing and being inspired by others.'' She derives inspiration
from countless artists, including favorites such as Melissa
Ferrick, The Fiery Furnaces, Joni Mitchell, John Spencer, The
Decemberists, Gillian Welch, Devotchka, Sleater-Kinney, Toots,
Ben Kweller, Ani Difranco, Neko Case and Edie Brickell among
others. ''I could go on forever...'' she prefaces, her voice
trailing. She pauses in silence for just a few moments before
continuing, ''...Lovers, PJ Harvey, Sufjan Stevens, Beth Orton,
Cat Power, Haley Bonar....''

Loman's fondness for multiple genres translates into a boldly
experimental approach to Tuesday Strip. She is unafraid to
expose her emotions through her songwriting, and her sincerity
is truly relatable, often resulting in a very intriguing
sound--at once simple and colorful, somber and triumphant.
