The 3 Hour Tour

This weekend I went to an awesome event called the Three Hour Tour on a yacht in Newport Beach. I had the privilege of watching nine different singer/songwriters perform and it was a total blast! The highlight of the afternoon was, hands down, Kevin Hammond. He's a local artist with serious vocal skills and a really good sense of pop music. This isn't the kind of music I would normally post about, but it's also the kind that appeals to everyone. It's sweet, well written and well executed pop. Hammond wrote the song "Maybe" when he was just sixteen years old. Listen to the track here.

Other highlights of the tour included Andy Davis, a multi-instrumentalist who unfortunately had to perform most of his set with iPod accompaniment. Regardless, he was a total entertainer and kept everyone in the audience laughing. Joey Ryan, a solo artist who performed mostly low key acoustic pieces, seemed to be an audience favorite. But Kevin Hammond wins my vote for the day. And he's unsigned! Someone's gonna snatch it up soon.
