The little shin-dig was actually an album release event for the wonderful Alanna-Marie Boudreau. This was her first official release on iTunes, I believe. Her voice inspires contemplation. Listen to her stuff. Here's a sample. Buy her album. You will love it. Every guy in that room, who hadn't met her before, immediately fell in love.
Ok, so she's just starting out and I get that it takes time to build your name, but what I don't get is why the guy who opened for her isn't a household name yet. Ok, I realize that's asking a lot but please understand that Kevin Heider is truly an amazing songwriter. I really don't know how to describe his style, because it's so diverse, therefore I have concluded that his genre is "awesomeness". He can be poetic, funny, catchy, inspirational and thought-provoking all at once, and then hit you with a reality check, forcing you, all of the sudden, to view the world differently.
I realize that this is high praise, but I mean it sincerely. He is one of the best lyricists I know of. Oh, and the melodies and music are amazing as well. I just have a hard time describing them because the variety of styles he uses, like I said before, range more widely than most artists.
I know that all of this seems like exaggeration, but I really do feel an obligation to spread his music, so here:
His latest album: "The Spark" (If nothing else, listen to "Enola's Wake")
His website
His YouTube channelI don't know what else to say, except that I can't stop listening to his stuff.
Peace.
