Ok - so I'm back and I just can't stay away;)
Etienne de Rocher is a Bay-Area based Singer/Songwriter that I first heard about 6 or 7 years ago. He didn't have a release yet, but there was a demo floating around and one of the A&R guys in my office (and former booking agent for Yoshi's) was a fan. He slipped me a copy and I quickly became a huge fan. I searched all over, hoping for a release, more tunes, New York gigs - but found nothing. So, here I am, roughly 7 years later, and I just discovered his debut release. I have no idea what made me search for him again, but as soon as I found the record, I ordered it from the Fog City Records site and 3 short days later the disc showed up at my door. I love his voice just as much today as I did then and the melodies are even stronger. Find more out about him here or here
