Yes! I saw him do a private thing at a studio 10 miles south of Eugene in Cottage Grove. The guy was totally mesmerizing. Kinda, though not entirely Jon Brion meets Tom Waits. The Jon Brion feel emerges in his rather cinematic by way of Tin Pan Alley style. Early summer I was obsessed with this album. Really great. -craig -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org [mailto:audities-owner@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Michael Roux Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 6:19 PM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Attn L.A.
