Living in Brooklyn, I've gotten to see him a number of times. I also like the group Musette Explosion, which he co-leads with Will Holshauser.

paul secor Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Listened to the clip. I guess he's sincere, but I didn't hear anything that would make me want to hear more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete C Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd rather listen to Mark Murphy. I love Murphy, and he's by far the more profound singer, but that's apples & oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
