Brownbird @ Black-eyed

Thursday, November 11: Brownbird Rudy Relic @ Black-eyed Sally's, Hartford

Not long ago a friend-of-the-blog mentioned that a friend of hers has this spectacularly talented boyfriend that we should check out. His music, that is. Check out his music. Well, we couldn't help looking too, and we're nearly as impressed with his wingtip shoes, skinny ties and swagger (DH is totally mancrushing) as we are with his playful (e.g. kazoo-heavy) take on the blues. We've been generally encouraged lately to see some younger, original artists playing at old Black-eyed Sally's, and we're especially excited about this one.

Check out Rudy busking around NYC in his video for "Lonely When You're Here." There's no way this guy isn't going to be awesome live.
