I just found Brian Wheat's MySpace page and am listening to his music.
In my travels looking for local music, I hear a lot of musicians. I'm (still) always surprised by the quality of the music around Buffalo. I can honestly say, it's all been great. I haven't yet heard anyone who bored me, or even worse, made me say "they stink." (Well, there was that one cheesey country band a year ago...) Not that I'm such a great judge, either. If anything, I'm easy, I like almost any music within reason.
But once in a while, there is someone who just stands out above the rest. Someone whose music grabs me in some way and I can't get enough.
Brian Wheat is in that category.
A fairly new entry to the music scene and not well-known, I first heard of him from Dan Reitz at the Custer St. basement show. When other musicians are telling you about someone, they must be something special.
But, other than a few show listings, I hadn't thought much about him since. I found him again today on Myspace and now I can't wait to see him play somewhere.
