Kids and parents are loving the live shows of Gustafer Yellowgold
Gustafer Yellowgold was created by illustrator, singer, songwriter Morgan Taylor. On the debut DVD Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World Gustafer comes to life. The minimally animated illustrations are accompanied by Taylor’s catchy original story-songs for a truly different multimedia experience that will entrance children and adults alike. Gustafer Yellowgold's Wide Wild World will be released in a gift set with a music DVD and a bonus 10-song CD on March 27, 2007.
Since his creation a couple of years ago, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon. Live “Gustafer” shows, accompanied by live music, have been acclaimed by the New York Times, which said, “The show is a cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss, filtered through the lens of the Lower East Side.” Time Out NY Kids magazine called it “Beatlesque…very beautiful.”
“Gustafer Yellowgold” shows can be seen regularly in venues for all ages in New York as well as on tour in America and Europe. Taylor’s “Gustafer” show, with its unusual crossover appeal, performed as the support act for Wilco on their recent east coast tour as well as for audiences in Los Angeles; London; Seoul, Korea; Dayton, Ohio and Dallas, Texas (with The Polyphonic Spree). Taylor's other projects include playing bass for The Autumn Defense (featuring John and Pat from Wilco). He also traveled for two US tours as Joseph Arthur's singing sound engineer in 2004.
