He's in town today and tomorrow and is doing a little free show and CD signing at a record store down the street. I heard a clip from him on the radio on my drive in this morning and thought he might be worth actually paying to go to his concert tomorrow night.

Not sure ... his name has a familiar ring to it.

Sorry. :o

If you liked him on the radio, you ought to go see him live. Live music is always good to go listen to. If you don't like it, you can leave.

I only heard a snippet on the radio (I need a longer commute). I found his website this afternoon and will listen so a couple things there before I go check him out at the record store. If I like him there, I'll buy a couple of his concert tickets for tomorrow night. It's at a real auditorium with decent acuoustics, so I might actually get to listen to some music instead of listen to all the kids.

Heard him last year a the Vancouver Island Music Festival. (plug) Good voice, cool songs, great band. One of his CDs is now somewhere in the non-alphabetized portion of the collection.

Seattle native, worth seeing once for sure.

I saw him for a bit last night at the record store. He'd be great for a coffee shop atmosphere. We decided not to go to the concert, but I may pick up a CD. I think he has a new one coming out in May.
