Eddy Burke and the Consequences

The man I wish I was is a bit of a band whore, sleeping around with all kinds of up-and-coming performing artists and name-dropping them at indie rock parties.

That man has never materialized, but I did buy a beer for a few weeks ago at the 440 Bar for a local bluegrass hero, Eddy Burke of Eddy Burke and the Consequences....

We are now friends on MySpace. I did not catch his show at the Acadia last night but if I had, we'd be fist-bumping and swapping groupies and I would have had the harmonica solo. i just know it.

Listen to the second song here with the Consequences, the bluegrass "If I remember":

His sadder folk stuff here -- "That Smiling Girl" is a favorite:
