The call comes in five minutes early, but no matter. Leo
Moran, one of two singers, guitarists, and songwriters for the Irish band the
Saw Doctors, is on the phone from his hometown of Galway.
The soft burr of his Eire accent automatically evokes an uncommon air of affability. In a way, that's to be expected.
The Saw Doctors' prescription for melodic allure has
always reflected their Irish roots, evoking images of the lovely emerald isle
with its rural villages, lush rolling hills, wind-swept beaches, and idyllic
innocence.
Likewise, they dispense hooks that are so irresistible, the defy sitting still, the sort of melodies that sound both seamless and spontaneous, all chock-full of instant appeal.

You probably already read here on County Grind that 12th Planet's End Is Near tour is coming to Fort Lauderdale tonight. The tour kicked off at Miami's Grand Central yesterday. There will likely be a flock of mega-charged fans finding their way north for a double-header.
12th Planet is a music-maker that won't stay out of the limelight for much longer. Besides his immense talent, he's also a pretty swell guy. I know this because he called me the other day (his manager made him) and now we're friends (Facebook counts!).
