Jake Allen?
Many others I'm not listing here..but this guy Jake Allen..omg, I'm getting attched to his 2020 record Affirmation Day over the last couple of days.
Something is brewing and if given the time, I'll try and write something and/or film a video on YouTube about this guy.
Definitely 1 of those cases where you hear someone's music and it hits you like a ton of bricks how amazing much of it is.
Bryan Scary and I suppose, include Sheena and even Jared Draughon's in the last time this happened to me over the last couple of years.
What may get me maybe the most in some ways is he is may be the 1st one of these people who I know is/was a fan and influenced by Kevin Gilbert Per THIS ARTICLE. Sure, there are many of them (NDV of course, Dave Kerzner, Randy McStine even...), but none of those have fully really grabbed me in the way Kevin did,..or just in some way. Nick I do appreciate his talents and him working with many bands..I suppose mostly Spock's Beard of course. But for whatever reason, beyond his fronting of Spock's, his solo music never has gone far like Kevin, Casey, Matt Mahaffey or Bryan Scary..but thus dude
Jake Allen from Michigan..I dunno..I'm really really loving much of his music. The textures, lyrics, dynamics, blending of styles..although not super diverse and weird..it's enough for me to appreciate.
