““I think I have come up with an indie-folk-rock style that lyrically and vocally is more sophisticated than my first album—but I like to mix things up for the live show and really bring a variety for the audience,” Gilbert said in a recent interview with Patch. Drawing comparisons to Michelle Branch and often referred to as a female Bob Dylan, Gilbert’s music conveys her experience of a sometimes painful upbringing, with the poetic perspective of feminine intuition. Gilbert’s song, "Alive," has been No. 1 on the South Bay’s pop charts on ReverbNation.com for the last month, and she is about to take her music nationwide. “In March, I head out on my first national tour," she said. "I’m starting in Florida and working my way back to California, so I’m excited and looking forward to this show as probably my last opportunity to play in my home area for awhile."”

"The Songs of Ben Laney" tribute concert brings together musicians he stood side by side with on stage or in the studio as well as his family to sing his songs. The event follows the completion of his second album, "Here in These Hills," produced by fellow musicians and friends Aprylle Gilbert and Jim Lewin. Six years in the making, the album began as a duo project with Gilbert, who had long admired Laney's work. The two worked together since the 1990s, performing at local venues such as Don Quixote's, before it was known as an international music hall. As the album got closer to completion, Laney's health began to decline. He died in June after struggling with medical problems. "I just want to give him credit for helping to shape me as an artist," Gilbert said. "When I set off on my first tour this spring I will be taking his CDs with me and singing his songs. His music will go with me wherever I go."

“FRIDAY 10/23APRYLLE GILBERT The Michelle Branch of Morgan Hill, Aprylle Gilbert is a fresh voice in the world of pop rock and folk. Her new disc, Diamond in the Rough, quietly screams for attention and is worth a listen, to say the least. She's also pulling some veteran talent from around Central California to help her translate it live. Chief among the contracted help is Ben Lomond's homey folk rocker Ben Laney and the multitalented Jim Lewin, best known as the guitarist for local country icon Lacy J. Dalton. Throw in a couple of surprise guests and you've got quite a coming-out party for this ambitious starlet. Cayuga Vault; $10 advance/$12 door; 8pm. (Curtis Cartier)”

— Curtis Cartier, Santa Cruz Weekly
