James Travis w/ Eric Sommer

Friday, August 19, 2005

James Travis has been finding success as lead singer/songwriter for local alt.-country act "Jim James & The Damn Shames" but his dusty vocals and rhythmic guitar work also suit him well as a solo/acoustic act. Excellent lyricism and a fine bit of harmonica playing compliment his rustic elan vital perfectly.

Eric Sommer - As an accomplished solo singer/songwriter, and as one of the premier acoustic/electric guitar players touring today, Eric Sommer is building a dedicated and vocal fan base. Part urban poet, part guitar virtuoso and part vocal stylist, Eric Sommer brings an added dimension to any music venue.

"stunning... aggressive... a powerful delivery of beautiful, eerily crafted pop songs mixed in with some of the most outstanding guitar jams I've ever heard..." - DC Music Match

"drop dead cool... gritty, raw and evocative... you don't know what's coming next..." - Indie Max
