Several years ago musician and naturalist Sean Rowe walked out into the wilderness alone. He spent the next 24 days constructing shelter and foraging for food to eat. He would come away from the experience with the songs that would eventually comprise his dazzling debut album Magic. The San Francisco Chronicle described the record as “beautiful and haunting.”

Depending on where you find them, Oakland-based band Whiskerman may be keeping the crowd dancing at the Great American Music Hall or holding an intimate audience in the palm of their hand at an acoustic house concert. With a unique style that sits somewhere between Karen Dalton and John Lennon, Graham’s songs range from soulful and rocking to mysterious and introspective. He soon found a unique group of musicians in Will Lawrence on bass, Nick Cobbett on drums, and Charles Lloyd on guitar and sitar.
