Spent an incredible evening at The Rhythm Room last night. The Rhythm Room is an institution here in Phoenix, bringing world class blues, folk, jazz and rock to this corner of the southwest. Our friends Kira and Eric invited us to see a personal favorite, Steve Poltz. Steve is an extraordinary artist, a folk singer/songwriter who writes of plain things...everyday life and how he experiences it. Steve is irreverent, controversial, hilarious, high energy vocals with fingers that flame across the frets of his Taylor guitars.

I am totally a new and dedicated fan and can't wait til he makes his way back to Phoenix. In the meantime, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with his website, http://www.poltz.com and cds.
