Support Local Artists

In my efforts to do something other than sitting in a dark theater every waking night of my life, I mustered up the energy to make it to the Velvet Lounge last night to see local singer/songwriter Meredith Bragg and the Terminals.

His brother produced the projections for my show, and a friend is producing their latest album. Meredith and company are extremely talented, and have the kind of sound that simultaneously reminds you of the good things about your favorite artists (he's been compared to Elliot Smith and Nick Drake - but he's alive, and not quite as tragic) but also manages to sound, well, just like himself. All of which is good.

Keep an eye out for his performances, or listen to his samples online. He's hard not to like.
