i'm a big fan of joel r.l. phelps, formerly of silkworm (another big rock fave). joel's music, both solo and with group, is often acoustic and really evocative and angst-y (in a good way). he has a few releases out. http://waxecstatic.com/downertrio/ steve > From: Glenn Bach <gbach@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: microsound <microsound@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >
