Yes, that was me. Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to
seeing him live in the future.
When I first head his (previous) album, something about his voice and
style reminded me of Mike Viola, which is a very good thing in my
book. My husband heard it as well. I'm not as familiar with Bleu or
Badly Drawn Boy to comment on that, but I can see the Owsley and
Elliott Smith for sure.
I hear you about Joes Pub - I love sit down shows now too. I must be
getting old. ;-)

And the venue - Joe's Pub - is an excellent, particularly civilized place to see a band. It's not too crowded, you can sit at a table, have a great view, the sound is good, table service w/ food available...all in all makes for an improved experience. (I'm old, and just don't love crowded, SRO shows so much anymore.)
