| HOWIE DAY - Singer /Songwriter from Bangor Maine. Brilliant acoustic pop with beautifully melancholic soul. One of my favorite new artists. I got to meet Howie a couple times before he signed his record deal with Epic. You gotta see him live! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dave Matthews Band - His interesting guitar style and songwriting forced me to learn everything I could get my hands on and inspired me to forge my own style. He's got one of the best bands in the world with him. If you haven't checked out DMB, then you should definately make a strong effort for one of their legendary summer tours! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Jason Mraz - M-R-A-Z! This guy writes some killer tunes and his live show is unbelievable! His voice reminds me of John Coltrane's sax! I highly recommend picking up his album "Waiting For My Rocket To Come" and definitely dowload some live shows! I got to meet Mraz in Providence this summer. Mraz, Toca and the whole camp are really great guys! (Click here for Pic) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| John Mayer - I have to say I've been a fan for years. I got to meet John once at a show in Northampton, MA. Weeks later he sold out the Fleet Pavillion in Boston two nights in a row. Killer guitar playing and killer hooks! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RADIOHEAD - It's an obsession really. It started out with "The Bends" and then "OK Computer" and now every album just makes sense and leaves me wanting more. This band is unbelievably brilliant! The noise they make is so randomly beautiful and melodic! Put Thom Yorke's soaring vocals on top and I'm sold! Are you? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Matt Nathanson - Matt is "The Jesus of Rock n' Roll" - Howie Day. I cannot disagree! Matt probably puts on one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen! You simply have to force yourself to check this guy out! He's much more than a man with a guitar and a cello player named Matt Fish... He's a super nice guy too! I've met Matt after several shows and talked shop and even met his mom! He said he'd come check me out next time he was in town! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ENTRAIN - Percussive grooves and fun tunes. I had the experience of playing with these first class musicians a couple of times when a friend of the band saw me doing my solo thing and referred me to them for a jam session. Let me tell you...these guys are just as fun to play with as they are to watch! Definately one of the best live acts around! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Bleu - Bleu is a man in a band...and the band's name is Bleu I suppose. I saw these guys tour with John Mayer and I caught them in Boston a few times. Bleu is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston I believe, and is an incredible songwriter! The band tears up the stage live and captures everyone's attention! They've been opening for some big acts and I'm sure they're going to blow up soon! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| StereoSoulFuture - Local "Boston" Band with a unique style and great tunes. "Red Tree Music", the debut album, is very well done! You can pick up a copy at Newbury Comics! They have been gracious enough to share a stage with me at Copperfields in Boston! Hope to See you all there! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| David Gray - I haven't had the chance to see him live except for his "Live at The Point, Dublin DVD" I think the best comment I've heard about David is a quote from the DVD, "Here's this Bloke walking along the Welch coast...he looks like a football player...and then the sound of his voice just made me sit up...his voice could take the stubble off a stubborn chin!" ~not an exact quote...but you get the picture! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
