skeeterstix Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi gang! been a while since I posted. Just been lurking...Anyway, if I know this crowd like I think I do, check this guy out. http://www.myspace.com/linusofhollywood He lists his influences as: Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, Gilbert O' Sullivan, The Zombies and a bunch of other stuffBlew my mind when I first found him on the internet about a year ago. As far as I know, he plays all instruments himself and all vocals!And he's only in his 20's...There's hope out there in the music world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hey Skeeter! I actually think this kid sounds very much like Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze. He does have a great set of pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mood Indigo Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm thinking Emitt Rhodes here, and that's not a bad thing in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 There was a thread maybe 2 years ago on Linus (actually Kevin Dotson) - met him several times, as he is friends of friends. He's around 35, an uber awesome songwriter, and musician/producer extraordinaire. He has 3 amazing CD's (and I believe a new one, with a few new, but mostly old tracks).I think he is considered one of the reigning Godfathers of LA power pop.I do know he has made some nice royalties selling songs to many artists, including P Diddy! And, has his own label, and I believe Recording Studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
