Somerset's own Brandon Roush--he will be auditioning for "The Voice". He is an awesome voice. First saw him at MMF when his group was "No Tale Lights" now he is with "The Dirty Grindstones". I've got a blog post from a couple of years ago about this guy. I'll see if I can dig it up.
I did indeed dig it up and this is my review from MMF09 when Roush played with No Tale Lights.
Friday night was a better opening night
than most. Of the four acts we saw I think, besides Richie, the local
group, No Tale Lights was far and away the cream of the crop. They
have a very strong band behind the vocals of the lead singer who is a
phenom. The rhythm section laid down a strong and heavy groove that
carried the music so well it gave the vocals and lead guitar a lot of
room for expression. I accused one of the members (I have
grandchildren older than them I believe) of sneaking out their
grandparents old vinyl and absorbing it. He just looked at me kinda
funny but I heard snippets of the old San Francisco psychedelic
sound, the Stax soul music, Southern Rock, Motown and AC/DC (complete
with the Angus antics). This is a band that has all the ingredients
to move to the top if they get the breaks and avoid the pitfalls.
