“Acoustic solo guitarist Trace Bundy, sometimes called the Acoustic Ninja, has been getting a lot of attention lately -- he just won first place in "Guitars on the River," a Colorado guitar competition in which his maverick style and mind-erasing chops beat out some of Colorado's best classical players. His newest material is so gorgeously outside of the box; Trace extracts gasps and hurts egos everywhere he plays.”
After exploding onto the scene three years ago as “the poet who has never read poetry”, critically acclaimed poet, thinker, singer, and soul, Bradley Hathaway is releasing his sophomore album and book, The Thing that Poets Write About, The Thing that Singers Sing About this October. This new record further bridges the gap between poetry and music by showcasing 14 new songs and poems inside an impressive 80-page book with an accompanying DVD.
The best artists are always one step ahead of their audience. Bradley is an artist of change - always surprising his audience and taking us to places never imagined. The Thing that Poets Write About, The Thing That Singers Sing About is the next step in Bradley’s already impressive career. Bradley is not an accomplished musician or a singer; in fact, he can barely play the guitar. But music is much more than talent and craft: it is emotion and experience. Bradley isn’t like other artists. He doesn’t give us craft and finesse. He gives us himself with all his flaws and imperfections. He lays his heart out for the rest of us to listen and judge- and that is the hardest thing an artist can do. Songs of joy. Songs of pain. Songs of innocence. Songs of experience. It’s all here, given to us by one of our generation’s most important artists.
