    Amazing song heard a clip on a TV advert and had to find who the artist was , the power of advertising, sounds like a mixture of Ray La Montagne and Sixto Rodriguez, hope he comes to play in Ireland, artists like this do well here , it was Ireland where David Grey was propelled to stardom he was relatively unknown until he started playing here and then his albums exploded all over Europe, I'd love to see the same for this artist .
