If you haven’t heard much about Jack Savoretti, you will. The British (by way of Italy) singer/songwriter has been featured on TV shows like One Tree Hill and The Cleaner and just completed a tour with Gavin DeGraw. I ran into him at this past year’s CMJ festival in NYC and interviewed him between shows.
So as the new year starts, here’s a belated nod to one of my favorite interviews from 2008. Make sure to check out the full music video for “Between the Minds” on OurStage. And while you’re at it, join his fanclub before the bandwagon leaves town.
Hey, Quinn!
I just wanted to let you know that the 8088 Record Collective, a collective based in Austin, Texas has chosen us to play at SXSW on March 21st at Plush, which is downtown. Next to the Beauty Bar, I think. We’re jazzed. Anyway, we wanted to thank OurStage for selecting us for CMJ. We didn’t realize the importance of it immediately, but this drives it home. I don’t think something so righteous could be possible without you guys. Also, I wanted to tell you how big a hit that interview you did with us is with the local fans. It makes us look real goofy (and cool, too, I guess), but it makes you guys (and especially Quinn Strassel!) look, at the very least, legit. I don’t know how to repay OurStage, really. But thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
God bless,
Martin
