If That's What You're Into: The Next Big Thing

On Saturday night I went to see a British singer songwriter bloke that reminds me of a British Jeff Buckley with maybe a little Amos Lee mixed with Ray LaMontagne.
Bobby Long is very very cute and very shy and a complete charmer. Because of this (and the fact that he is Robert Pattinson's best friend, and he's on the Twilight soundtrack) the audience was mostly girls and also alot of music industry people. You can tell who they are because they are usually older and dressed completely 80's or just completely out there. It is pretty funny. It was neato seeing him so early in his career because people are saying he is the next John Mayer or David Gray or someone like that. He has no label and my boss won't sign him "because it's not her thing", even though his publicist asked my boss to bring him to our office for a meeting. So for me, that is disappointing as that is "my thing". Of course people said the same things about Alexi Murdoch and what the heck happened to him? So I guess we will see.

The show itself was really casual, just him and his guitar. It was his last show in America till the summer and he was only here to play for and meet industry execs so he only went to LA, NY & Nashville. So he just chatted it up with us and each song was a request. He seems really sweet. Definitely see him when he is in your neck of the woods this summer.

Here are a few songs from his Hotel Cafe visits. Someone put basically the entire Saturday concert up on You Tube. i love you tube.
