Thank God for pandora.com or else I probably still wouldn't have heard of this guy. His song "Them Shoes" came on one day and I knew I had to see him live, so I did. There's something to be said for just a guy and his guitar on stage. As long as that guy has "it" and can pick like he can. He's got the garage-blues-rock sound with a tinge of Van Morrison in his voice. Hope he doesn't hate that comparison, but I hear it, and its groovy as Hell. I'd love to see him with a full band even though him with his axe and wooden box to stomp on, in place of a percussionist, was damn entertaining. Unlike a lot of modern bands, the soul and feeling in his voice and music is right out there for everyone to enjoy, but sadly, will unlikely be popular in this tragic world of flash, fashion, and perpetual posing. So, good for him. He's making music without mainstream influences. He even played an obscure Black Keys song, which wasn't that surprising once I saw that Dan Auerbach produced his album, Every Hour is a Dollar Gone. Can't wait to see him perform and maybe even shake hands with him again at the merch table.
