Mark introduced me to Micah Dalton years ago, back when he had dreads (Micah, not Mark). Since my first listen in 2005, his music (and hair) have evolved, and his recently released album, Blue Frontier, is proof of his continued growth as an artist. Snag the Blue Frontier sampler for free on Noise Trade. Once you get a taste, listen to and purchase the rest here.

Eddies Attic.
Favorite track on Blue Frontier:
“Another Discovery.” I was able to really play outside of singer/songwriter rules with the horns, African choir, and Doobie Brothers riff, and it reminds me in some ways of some of the pop music I grew up with in the early ’90s.
Describe Blue Frontier in a few words:
People have said “Peter Gabriel” a lot. So: southern, soul, Peter Gabriel.

If you ever need a West Coast correspondent let me know. I live in Los Angeles, but am super preppy, from the South, and love all things about Chick-Fil-A.
In all seriousness, I love your blog! It is such a treat to see happenings in the South. And, I used to work for Young Life, so end up knowing several folks featured on here, which is fun too :)
