ACL 2015: Gabriel Garzón-Montano

Saturday at 2:45pm.  Are you sitting down? Ok.  Instead of seeing Father John Misty we need to be in the tent watching this guy.  Before you freak out, listen to these songs.  Holy shit they are good.

This is a NY born and raised 25yo son of a French mother and Columbian father.  He played all the instruments on his first EP which was recently released.  Mayer Hawthorne heard it and got his manager to represent him.  Lenny Kravitz heard it and invited him to open for his summer European stadium tour.  Drake heard a song and sampled it for one of his hits.  More about him in this SPIN article.

Reminds me of Bill Withers and Prince.  Just amazing.  Once you fall in love with these two songs check out Pour Maman which starts out like a mellow Bill Withers song and ends like a "Sign of the Times" era Prince song.


Everything is Everything


Keep on Running
