Jeff Litman
From New York, New York
First Twin Cities show since since December 29, 2008 • First Fine Line show
From last.fm:
Trained in classical guitar and jazz, NYC's Jeff Litman might seem like an unlikely popster. But those genres' loss are our gain, as Litman has crafted an excellent singer/songwriter debut that fans of smart power poppers like Jon Brion, solo Rhett Miller and (perhaps most of all) Jim Boggia should be all over. Litman demonstrates his chops right away with the bouncy "Anna". Vocally, he resembles Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies, and one could be forgiven for mistaking "Anna" as a lost BnL track.

Cal Ecker
From Minneapolis
First show since since September 26, 2008 • 19th show on MN Live's calendar since January 10, 2007
From last.fm:
Minnesota native Cal Ecker exudes a natural charisma, evident in a beckoning voice that melds the gravelly tone of Jon Bon Jovi to the sensual innocence of James Blunt. His debut EP, out September 20, is a selection of clear, crisp songs that showcase the pop-rocker’s powerful and emotive vocals. With the expert help of producer Aaron Johnson (best known for his work with The Fray), Ecker’s first musical offering is replete with heartfelt melodies, addictive hooks, and larger-than-life choruses contained within the framework of finely crafted songs.

Caleb is an “incredible performer/ virtuoso guitarist, with a Stevie Wonder-like voice..complex, yet accessible melody, and wacky sense of humor” (exterminating angel press) Caleb’s sound reveals a mix of influences; Randy Newman, Keb Mo, Ray Charles, Amos Lee, and The Yellowjackets.
