    I attended a house show where he performed a couple of years ago. His voice is distinctive, he’s a terrific singer and song writer. He could not have been more kind and gracious to the group of fans who showed up in a stranger’s living room to hear him play.

    Damien! This was my favorite episode of What’s in my Bag to date. What an amazing selection. I added everything you picked to my Playlist and can’t wait to listen in my car, volume up, feel some things and get goosebumps..maybe even cry a little. How have I never heard that Ritchie Valens song?! Why did I forget about the magic of Fugaze? I choose the songs I listen to by the emotions they evoke in me, and it makes sense that you would, too. I’ve always felt a deep connection to your music. It has had such a profound impact on me and helped me through some very dark times in 2005/2006..and still to this day. I love you and thank you for being there for me through your beautiful art.
