No, this is not an announcement for some racy new form of cyber-porn.

It's announcement about an exciting new musical discovery that
has recently posted their Home Page to the World Wide Web @

The band is called "Naked to the World," and as their
songwriter, Kevin Fisher, likes to say, the name is "an
emotional statement, not a fashion statement..."


As with any great art, NttW's music is hard to define and
harder to categorize. We'll try, by describing it as
lyrically compelling, acoustic folk-rock (folk 'n roll?) with
delicately melodic, classical overtones. Kevin Fisher comes
from a rock-and-roll background, but his alliance with
classically trained violinist Daryl S. has sent Kevin's
writing off in a different direction; Daryl's presence encourages
Kevin to experiment with different melodic ideas, and the results
are pleasing and dramatic.

As Kevin said once in an interview, the switch from electric to
acoustic instrumentation seems to "transfer the energy from the
groin to the brain..." and that transfer is perfectly suited
for his rich, poetic lyrics.

Naked to the World treads on a tricky high-wire between what we
like to call "acoustic" and more conventional rock & roll. The
element that sets them apart is their masterful dynamics, the
use of crescendo and diminuendo (to use the classical
terms...), and Kevin's vocal delivery, which is at once both
impassioned and intelligible.

Naked To the World's web site is part of the National Online
Music Alliance, "Your Internet Source for the World's finest
