Rob Magee
Sounds Like Big, soft, puffy blue notes bouncing off your face as you slowly sink into a swimming pool filled with warm oatmeal and raisins...just as you are about to drown in the oatmeal, you are lifted into the sky by a giant silver spoon and eaten by a sweet guitar riff.
Steeped in influences from the early 60's to the present, Rob's music invokes, all at once, a unique and yet familiar sound. Recalling the smooth rhythms and rich vocal harmonies of Gram Parsons and The Eagles and yet reflecting the new urban sensibility of Beck, Badly Drawn Boy, The Shins and others at times, Rob's music stands apart on it's own. You can check out Rob's music here and, of course, at www.robmagee.com. Be sure to check out the new album Air and Space available on June 30, 2007.
