The last 10 songs played from my ipod on "my faves" playlist set to shuffle. Warning... It's eclectic!
In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley
Smile - Pearl Jam
Fallin' - Alicia Keyes
Hey Jude - The Beatles
Shinin' - Brad
Disarm - The Smashing Pumpkins
Even in the Quietest Moments - Supertramp
That's the Way - Led Zeppelin
For You - John Denver
Arc - Pearl Jam
From these 10 songs I'm featuring Brad.
They are a local band that's been around for years. This week they
announced they have a new album coming out sometime this year. It's
been many years since they put out a new album so I'm thrilled. They
also have a show coming up in April, but since we are saving every
penny I won't be able to go, but I really wish I could!
Most of the band members have other projects going on so they don't record or play as much as other bands. One of those members is guitarist Stone Gossard who is also in a little band call Pearl Jam. The lead singer, Shawn Smith has one of the most beautiful voices coming from a menacing physique.
They normally play in small clubs so it's always a treat to see them
live. I couldn't find a live performance video of Shinin' onYouTube ,
but I found a performance of another song called Screen. It's not the
best sound quality, but at least you will be able to see Shawn Smith
and a little of Stone. From the Highline Ballroon in NYC, 10/16/07...
Here is what I found for Shinin'... Be sure to give it a listen, it's a pretty song!
Enjoy your Saturday!
Yes, such a treat to see quality bands in small clubs. I'm pretty much turned off by stadium venues. And stadium prices. And yes, I like the vocals on these videos.

Wow! I'd heard of Brad here and there but never actually heard them/their music. I *do* like it. (And I like your eclectic playlist!)
