Loren Radis discovered

If you haven't checked out thesixtyone.com yet (link), you should. It's a site where new artists can post their songs and have users rate them. Each song can be "bumped" up the list, eventually making it to the sixtyone homepage. Songs are available for buying via amazon, or some are free for download. Loren Radis chose the free download route, b/c he rocks.

His bio would describe him best,

"Loren Radis (that's me) is a California based singer/songwriter heavily influenced by the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine, Damien Rice, and Elliot Smith.I've been playing guitar since I was twelve and singing since I could talk, but only in the last year has writing and performing music become a more serious pursuit.Music has helped me through a few really hard times in my life and if I can do the same for other people then I'll feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. All I really hope for is that people will enjoy listening.Thanks, -loren"

His website is here. With sixtyone, you can also create playlists and send the link out to friends. You can check out one that I created here. It's very chill.
