tonight i should be doing report cards like a machine. but i'm not a machine, i require breaks. breaks to listen to the best music out there.and...i should have been doing report cards last night but instead went to houston house of blues to see this awesome band called brother of pearl. and i kind of know them. meaning at least three of the band members know my name. or recognize my face. or whatever. i digress.
brother of pearl=awesome band. similiar to old crow medicine show but with a gospel kick and less cocaine references.
so the band i was there to see was opening for: a dude named ben rector. didn't care, never heard of him, wasn't there to see him. well... turns out that...
i. am. obsessed. dude plays the piano like he invented it. (he could totally give the piano lady at grace dc a run for her money if you know what i'm talking about.)
he's 23, christian guy but plays mainstream music, wears suspenders, has poofy crazy hair, (obviously i loved him off the bat), a voice that is out of this world, he's from the south, and he's just...awesome. writes his own stuff, plays a few covers, i don't know why he's not a household name. other than he probably refuses to sell out to a label. or something.
anyways, way too much of me talking. you can read his bio here.
