Spencer Day in SF

I was at the Spencer Day show last night, and had a total blast. The talented singer-songwriter is amazing live and has such a big baritone voice to match his heartfelt lyrics. Why this young performer hasn't gotten mega-famous in the mainstream music arena, I have no idea. He's the next big thing in American contemporary music.

He started out with his peppy "A Better Way" and charmed his way through the act with funny numbers like "Poor Marie" (inspired by Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette"). The audience loved the lively "Ophelia Underwater." I can't think of a better way to spend a chilly SF evening.

Day will be playing through Sunday 12/14 at Hotel Nikko's Rrazz Room. He's planning a third CD release Vagabond in Spring 2009, but in the meantime, check out his site www.spencerday.com or his MySpace page. He also has a lovely video of his hit "Movie of Your Life" on YouTube.
