Paul Manousos, Joel Streeter, Jesse Brewster November 13, 2008

“There is no question that Paul Manousos can sing, but all of that talent would be for nothing if not for producer Steve Fisk (Pell Mell, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees) and engineer Ian Pellicci’s work in capturing Manousos’ performance on his newly released album, Common Thread [Shock and Fall]. Together with Manousos’ backing band, The East Bay Wrecking Crew, the production duo commandeered San Francisco’s Tiny Telephone Studios, and banged out one helluva folk-infused, alt-rock album in just three days. The first thing that immediately grabs listeners’ attention is Paul Manousos' voice, for he can belt out a song like nobody's business. The second is his chameleon-like style, for although the singer/songwriter has invariably been tagged either folk or Americana, those labels tell only half the tale.” Hear the full tale tonight at the Little Fox! www.paulmanousos.com and www.myspace.com/paulmanousos

Jesse Brewster writes and plays songs that have emotional power and musical chops. With music spanning a diverse mix of genres, from alternative and straight ahead rock to R&B-funk to blues, the band delivers an outstanding live performance punctuated by the solid and refreshing songwriting and voice of Jesse Brewster. Anything in between Foo Fighters and Incubus to John Mayer and Jeff Buckley, Radiohead to Tom Petty, to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Bonnie Raitt. "Each time I’ve seen Jesse Brewster on stage I’ve grown more and more baffled and frustrated. How can a talent this large not be nationwide? Jesse needs to be discovered in a big way. He’s ready for primetime. His live shows and CDs are top-quality productions that leave you wanting more. The musicianship, the showmanship, the voice, the vibe, the supporting cast — they’re all there, aching for mass consumption. His messages are direct from the heart and his sound is addicting. Book him, sign him, spread the good word. Jesse’s the man..." -B. Ainsworth, Editor, Marin Indepenedent Journal www.myspace.com/jessebrewster
