This is really more of a heads up as he hasn't released a lot of music yet.
If genres such as Blues, Rock, R&B and Soul means anything to you,
you need to check this guy out.
He played at the 2010 crossroads festival (which if you haven't, you need to see by the way) and he absolutely rocked the house!
The rollinge stone named him "best young gun" in the 2011 issue "Best of Rock" and his EP "Bright Lights" came in at number 40 in the list of best albums of 2011.
To get a full perspective of this guys musical capability i highly suggests you check out the songs "Bright Lights", a cool eletric blues extravaganza that wont leave your mind for a while, and "Things Are Changing" a slow 70's style melodic R&B tune that's equally great.
As said earlier this guy's carrier has just begun, but i'm sure that he will play a large role in the future blues scenarie, and if you have any interrest in any of the genres above, you should check him out.

I got the his EP a couple months ago. Seriously blew me away. "Don't Owe You a Thing" is such a throw back to boogie blues/rock you don't see that much anymore. I hope he stays popular enough to release more music because he absolutely talented
