I finally got to see this guy in Denver at Swallow Hill Saturday. WOW! He was full on with every song and just really a lot of fun between sets, earnest to the core. Like many artists, the recording is a just a glimpse of the talent. I hope you all get a chance to meet him.
Here are a couple of youtube links.
