p/s: As singer/songwriter Dave Barnes tells it, he had a Harry Potter moment while in college. Like the poor, misunderstood boy living under the stairs with his Uncle and Aunt, Barnes also belonged to a magical tribe, but up to that point hadn’t realized it. “I was thinking I was weird, or something was wrong with me. But when I found the magazine Performing Songwriter, I thought, ‘you mean there’s a group of people who relate to this? Who have a hard time talking when there is a melody in their head or will run off and call their voicemail so they can remember how this one lyric goes?’”

That’s right, Dave, you’re a wizard. Well, a songwriting wizard, anyway. So get out of that cramped room and get to Hogwarts—er, Nashville!

p/s: Matt’s music style could be compared to a blend of Dave Matthews, John Mayer, U2, Coldplay and Tom Petty. Skope Magazine states that Matt’s music, “would impress fans of artists such as John Mayer, Tom Petty and Jason Mraz.” Indeed, Matt’s efforts have been earning him some attention. College Radio and several TV appearances seem to have industry people taking notice, as Matt has had his music played on over 125 college radio stations. CMJ recently stated, “Acoustic-wielding, Boston-Based singer songwriter Matt Shwachman will be giving established heart-melters like One Republic and Five For Fighting a run for their money!

For Matt Shwachman, it is a search for melody, for motion, and for fulfillment of the mind. This search has forged an acoustic guitar driven-blend of pop/rock with lyrics that often tackle difficult philosophical questions. Check him out!

However, at 18 Eli decided to exchange his drumsticks for textbooks and attend Princeton University in New Jersey, where he studied politics and was elected president of his class all four years.
