Hello World!

Meet Drew Angus! Drew and his band recently opened for Marc Broussard at the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, New Hampshire.  This Brooklyn based group has been playing together for almost five years. You know I did not pass up an opportunity to ask what they have been listening to.

No surprise that Drew mentioned Marc Broussard. Marc is awesome! Drew just released a cover of  (Sittin on)The Dock of the Bay  with him. Keep an eye out for Drew’s upcoming EP “Live from Dockside Studios“.  Dockside Studio has an impressive list of clients; including another one of my favorites- Tab Benoit.  I won’t go down that musical rabbit hole now. You can check out the Tab Benoit post later on 603melody.com (#insertshamelessplug). Drew also listens to Ben Rector, Bailen, and Josie Dunne. I thought Old School was sweet.

Sam enjoys Soccer Mommy. He also brought up Elvis Costello’s latest album, Look Now, and Joni Mitchell’s The Hissing of Summer Lawns.  How did I miss Elvis Costello’s new release? Take a listen to  Unwanted Number and Photographs Can Lie.

Spencer mentioned Emily King, Jennah Bell, Ex:Re, as well as the Wood Brothers. Get dancing with Happiness Jones.

Nick added The Saplings- Go Digital to the list.

The band was kind enough to give me the CD – Hold Onto Something.  Brother  and  Always are just two of the songs on it. Thanks to Drew, Spencer, Sam, and Nick for their time, and new music suggestions.  Visit Drewangus.com for more info on tour dates and such!

Thanks for checking in!

What are you listening to?

PS  Fun fact- Drew was a finalist on American Idol in 2016.  He was also in this SNL skit (Civil War Soldiers ) with Harry Styles and Jimmy Fallon!
