Sanders came up during my lunch with Micah a few months back. He raved about the guy, and I was intrigued for a few reasons: one, Micah has great taste, and two: Sanders is my maiden name and will likely be the name of one of our future children. I liked the guy before hearing a song.
…and then, I heard a song…and I loved the guy. The more I heard, the more I loved, and the quicker he raced up the my singer/songwriter ladder. After a few months of listening over, and over, and over, I’m going to say this: Sanders Bohlke is hands down one of the best musicians hailing from the south.

Mmm… This is soothing, especially on a Monday afternoon. Thanks for sharing Caroline (and thanks to Micah too).

Kind of reminds me of Fleet Foxes and a male Birdy
