Last night I spent a little time with Damon at Sound Exchange in Brandon. His fourth CD is officially released.
Damon recorded and issued his first three CDs on his own with one being live, recorded at Skipper's.
Well, Blind Pig Records has signed him. How exciting for Damon!
I first saw Damon at Skipper's Smokehouse years ago playing the blues. Since then I have followed his career, stopping by a show every few months. Damon was frequently found in the Brandon area, hosting open jams, making music with his friends, and always smiling.
There is a CD Release party at Skipper's this Friday with other shows all over town. Next weekend you'll see me at the Ringside Cafe in St. Pete. Go Damon!

Totally stolen from his site:
Born and raised in Brandon, Florida just outside of Tampa, Damon first picked up the guitar at the age of 12. After being shown a few chords, it was apparent that he was a natural. While his friends were listening to the music flavor of the month, Damon was digging into the Blues, and was soon playing small clubs in and around the Tampa Bay area. Years later with thousands of shows behind him, you've got one of the most unique and seasoned acts on the national circuit.
