I just stumbled on this guy searching for music on my Zune. Anyone here listen to his music? It sounds fantastic.

    It is fantastic! He has a great message and a great vibe. I saw him last week in Atlanta, awesome show! I was a little disappointed that no one here seemed to know who he was though, lol.

    He certainly sounds better then Jack Johnson (crap) and Ben Harper, who is good I guess, just isn't my style. From a bunch of song clips he has sort of a bluesy/rock thing going. His voice is also similar to Dave Matthews IMO, which I like.

    Dig his music thoroughly. I've seen him in NY, Boston, San Diego and LA. His music is earthy and tribal and groove-heavy.

    Amazing that most, if not all of the sounds that you hear are created by him. Sometimes he tours with a partial band behind him but he doesn't need it at all. With his mouth, 2 arms and 2 legs he is the ultimate one-man band.

    And yes, soooo much better than Jack *yawn* Johnson.

    I'm a MASSIVE Xavier fan! Saw him live for the third time a few weeks back.

    His first three or four albums are mostly just him and that's when he's at his best - just an acoustic, some kick drums and three didgeridoos.

    Go get a copy of his 'Solace' cd now! Go NOW! it's fckin awesome!

    I'll have to check him out live. I saw some clips, hes got a hell of alot of shit surrounding him for a one man band.

    I was super lazy today and downloaded "Dark Shades of Blue" on a torrent site (shame on me lol) and really dug it after the 2nd listen. I especially like the more "african/rock" sounding tracks.
