Essentially, Jesse Elliott (on the right) is These United States, but the input of Tom Hnatow is not to be dismissed.  I loved these guys and had the best time with them in the basement of IOTA in Arlington, VA last night.  Jesse Elliott is a star on the rise.  He reminds me of a 60's poet.  A joy to be around and his music kicks major ass.

 

You can't Buy the Album yet, so go to their Myspace and then write and thank me for introducing you to this magical music. 

You're welcome.

Billy Harvey is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable podcasts I've done.  He's so freakin' talented and fun to hang with.  He also wears moon boots and gardens in his underwear.

Huge props to Mick Wainman for hooking up this show!

SMtv returns with the wonderful Laura Tsaggaris. Flavors of Alanis and Coldplay can be heard every now and again in her music, but Laura has a style all her own.

If you're in Washington DC, come and see Laura and me play this Saturday Night Nov 18 at the Velvet Lounge.
