Looking Alive by Brian Wheat
His latest offering has that breezy early morning acoustic sound of pacific coast bands Vetiver or Band of Horses, but with the occasional touch of strings & organs that while subtle, give the album a very garmented & polished sound. Its upper class folk rock thats dressed to kill.

Fans of M. Ward, Bright Eyes or Colin Meloy of the Decemberists should rush to Wheats website. Wheat...has a unique voice to be thought of as their equal. His winsome looks and tailor-made name dont hurt either. Wheats[...]standouts Late Night Stroll, When We Awoke and Lovers Shouldnt Waste Their Time, [...]would be right at home on Willie Nelsons Stardust

Brian Wheat, Charleston, SC songwriter and Buffalo, NY native has taken his time developing his unique compound of jazzy Americana. Wheat conveys a Willie Nelson-style honesty and straightforwardness in his performances. ‘Lounge’ is redeemed in a no-nonsense Rufus Wainright fashion through the rose filter of an 80’s era Austin City Limits session atop Cake-style rhythms.
