I saw this gentleman (no relation to our fine city's current mayor) play a show at a dive bar here in Portland and his intense and ethereal music captivated my senses. And this boy can sang! Dang!
This is my friend Brian Rozendal and his folk-beast of a band Small Souls. He collaborates with a pedal steel player who so happens to be named Bryan Daste. They are a fine songwriting duo.
I have so many talented friends and my girl Ezza Rose is no exception. She is a thunderous lil' force of nature. She's transformed herself from a twee ukulele strummer to full-on rock priestess.
