Good song, good voice. Thanks for sharing. Dunne is obviously talented. Only negative is that he's a little too pretty. I kept imagining how cool it would be if the bass player was up there solo, looking the way he does, with that face and that head of hair, singing the same song... 😆

Cool thread. I'm going to try to stick to music that not many know about. But... I must admit I'm very much out of the music scene these days. So I'm kind of limited to "do I hear this on the radio, or not?" as far as popularity goes.
Several years ago my old room mate called me up and took me a concert in ATL by Rocket Summer. His wife got suddenly ill and couldn't make the show, so I got to go. I'd never heard of these guys, but I gotta say they put on a heck of a show and I left a fan. They have a bit of a cult following, but I wouldn't call them mainstream.
Their earlier stuff was a little closer to emo rock. But I still enjoyed it too. I think this was when they developed their following as it is.
As a musician, I drift towards players that are special. I define special as "there ain't no way in hell I could ever learn to play like that".
Someone above listed this song, but I thought I'd embed it for ya because if your like me your to laze to look it up. Here's some pickin'
I learned about this song from someone in this thread a while back, and I've seen it mentioned a couple of times again. I think it's worth a post. I love this tune and a big thanks to whomever recommended it.
I stumbled on a band called The Main Squeeze. They do a lot of covers and absolutely rock em. Here is one of their originals. Play that funky music guys.
Here is them covering one of my all time favorite Floyd songs, Have a Cigar
There's a solution to getting in touch with music that will never be played on the radio - Spotify. I made the minimal investment and have never looked back. I've added hundreds of new bands and thousands of songs to my library.
I've been a Andy McKee fan for several years and remember when Drifting was released on Candy Rat records. Interestingly, Michael Hedges was a huge influence on Andy and it shows in the playing styles.
Billy Strings reminds me of BR5-49. Good stuff.

The Gaslight Anthem - She Loves You
Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad (Zack de la Rocha Remix)
The Menzingers - Black Mass
Fountains of Wayne - Prom Theme

Pearl Jam - State of Love and Trust
The Killers - Just Another Girl
Smashing Pumpkins - Medellia of the Gray Skies
Whiskey on My Breath By Love and Theft
This is the best Billy Strings video. Everyone gravitates to dust in a baggie, but the kid is just so sick with his flat picking style you have to watch.
Marcus King. Young cat, shreds guitar, most soulful voice I have heard in a long time.
This is the Disco Biscuits. They are one of my all time favorite bands. They are the most original band I have heard in my life. Heavy on electronic and rock styles. You will love this or hate it. But, as the song says, "Sorry if you don't"
Well, if I'm doing a music dump, i'm going to drop some links for my all time favorite band.
And this....
And my all time favorite, ever.
Ha. Wasn't there a commercial back in the day (women's shampo?): "don't hate me because I'm beautiful"? You're reminding me of this. Maybe if this guy gets big and has many years of hard living on tour he'll look more gritty? /s
This may be my favrite song by Mumford & Sons. I'm posting it because I don't think it's as well known as the rest. Strong subject too.
Everyone knows Mayer, but I'm not sure everyone knows this song. One of my favorites by him
