You can read on the home page a very surprising statement : "A monstrous ego. with limited talent"

Sounds great. Wouldn't mind seeing this chap live, but no live dates on the website yet.

Great find btw. :)

I really enjoyed watching this video and apart from being a fingerpicker, there were a few other similarities to MK, namely playing a Pensa on some songs, also his lyrics were stories too.  I  had to smile when he said his dad gave him a cheap Fender strat copy, hmm, I think I have heard that before somewhere!  ::)    Nice to know he's a Knopfler fan, though.  ;)

Just bought the cd from Itunes.

Great music. I have made contact with him to get him to The Netherlands. I keep you informed.

Check the biography too.   He, or his web-writer have a monstrous :) sense of humor.   By that I mean 'great."

His latest song.
It reminds me too much to Heart Full Of Holes from MK.

Hmm, think he's been stalking this old Doris by any chance?

He's been listening to too much MK, especially KTGC!

Wow! That's really great! I think that is exactly the kind of (the ...kind! of...) music I sometimes wish MK would produce... so much energy, so much guitar, just like the old days... The relation to MK is very obvious of course, his vocal style, and it seems he has heard MK live several times...

Let's see if this CD is available in Germany.

Thanks for digging this out, BBB!  ;)

He's a very good musician and it's obvious that his hero is MK!    The intro still reminded me of something from KTGC - maybe he liked that album a lot!   As for the outro, it was good, but not great and it didn't quite do it for me. I feel he's just trying too hard to be like MK imo.

That's right. More people should do that!  ;D

You really think so?  :disbelief  MK is unique and others, who try to be like him, are just pale imitations, unless they find a style of their own.   :)
