Perks & Awards!

One of the perks of being a independent musician is that you get to discover other independent musicians while you're busy trying to promote yourself. These are hard-working artists who are working their butts off to share their music with the world, just like us.
I've heard so many great musicians over the past few months, but this one in particular deserves a special mention. His name is Scott Carmichael, and there is just nothing I don't like about his music. The instrumentation, arrangements, harmonies, the tremendously good guitar-playing and unpredicability in his songwriting - all the ingredients are there and top notch. Especially his songs "Find Him" and "So Much More" just rub me the right way!
But, you know, don't take my word for it, though, let the music speak for itself:
Listen to Scott Carmichael

We are This is lizzard, we are independent, and we are tickled pink - want to know why?! We are in the running for three - count 'em - three independent music awards!
