I've heard of him, never seen him though. Honestly I'm most into some relatively local stuff right now. Going to see a group tonight called the Screaming J's, they're amazing, the lead guy is one of the best piano players I've ever seen, he plays so fast his hands are a constant blur and as a piano/keys player myself he's an inspiration. I love seeing the String Cheese Incident live, say what you will about jam bands (some people throw a lot of scorn that direction) but damn if they aren't fucking amazing at playing music together. There's this great band I saw recently called Comeback Alice, some of the more talented people I've seen before. The two lead people are a husband and wife and damn can they rock out. The guy is a virtuoso on the guitar, keys, and harmonica, and has one of the best voices I've ever heard, they cover Led Zeppelin songs sometimes and he actually sounds just like Robert Plant except better (normally he doesn't sound like Plant, but he imitates him incredibly well when he's trying to do that). I don't know, I've seen so many amazing live shows in the past 2 years. I saw this one performer called Fatoumata Diawara, she's from Africa and she and her band are insane... I can't even describe what it was like, it was the most euphoric I've ever been seeing live music, me and my friends were all moved to tears multiple times, they were tears of joy, she was so intense on stage, it was incredibly cathartic. After that performance the entire music festival was stunned, it was all anyone could talk about for hours. Actually at that music festival I saw so many amazing performances, it was the largest concentration of mindblowing music I have ever seen in one place.
