Thanks for listening!
You know how whenever you hear a Jack Johnson song, you kind of start moving your head and generally "grooving," even though you feel like a total tool while doing so? I suggest Johnny Bertram as a guilt-free alternative. Dude knows how to craft a pop song, with honey-sweet vox and nimble acoustic guitar action, but instead of singing about, say, Curious George, he sings about drugs, poor people, and revolution. Bertram's a Portlander who relocated to Jackson, Mississippi, and you can hear the South creeping in to his indierock aesthetica little sweatier, a little sexier. Peep his Sam Beam-style beard if you get a chance. -JOEL HARTSE

Mr. Bertram has done it once again. Masterfully using
the poor and discarded things of this world to reveal
the ugliness of lives bent on the pursuit of money,
pleasure, or agenda. Combined with clever and original
music, his message goes deep-deep enough to touch real
truth and to rightfully realign our perspective.
