Dead Man Espresso

So as much as we love our coffee and food and chairs and tea and widemouth-amber-glass-jars, we also love our tunes. With Dead Man we really wanted to play music that A) we like and B) sat well in the cafe. You'll here a bit of Devendra Banhart and Vetiver . They are associated with each other, can't remember which one I discovered first, love 'em both. Anyway, sent an email to Andy Cabic, main man behind Vetiver, for some suggestions of other artist. How cool is this... he emailed the below list. Damn what a nice guy!


"There's so much good music out there, it's a never-ending source of inspiration.
you should check out  Skeeter Davis, Sandy Posey, Everly Brothers, Kitty Wells, Johnny Darrell, The Louvin Brothers, Roger Miller, Willie Nelson and Tom T. Hall for some good country. Also Michael Hurley, Bobby Charles, John Compton's "To Luna", Tim Hardin, John Martyn, Richard (and Linda) Thompson, Geoff & Maria Muldaur, Roy Harper, Kate Wolf, Norman Greenbaum, The Lovin' Spoonful, & NRBQ, just 'cause."


Then!!... the next day after getting back from his morning coffee and bagel from his local coffee place, Trouble Coffee he fired of a mixed tape, electronic style. Just too awesome!! It will get a guernsey tomorrow.
