JODY GLENHAM - "ONE SHOT" LIVE AT THE BROKEN CITY IN CALGARY 16/10/08
Great songs! I'm listening to them whilst I work. I love the way you combine sounds. To me, you sound like a cross between Ben Folds and Hayden. Love it! It's like the bright jangle of the Ben Folds piano sound, plus the rhythm and, I guess, cadence that so many Hayden songs have.
Any chance you'll be coming down to Minneapolis in the future? My family is actually from Winnipeg, so I could see you up there, but the chances of me getting up there any time soon are fairly slim. But some day... :)
