Boys with Guitars

For those of you state-side, I just got a whiff of something good cooking up north...

Erik DiNardo is a Boston native who is spilling his journal entries into his songs and starting to gain some real recognition for it. DiNardo released his debut album in 2007 and has earned praise from Seventeen and CUSP Magazine among others.

He has been compared to Jason Mraz, The Goo Goo Dolls and John Mayer, all of which are very good company, and has a similar contagious appeal like other guitarist, singer, song-writers like Matt Nathanson and Howie Day.

The album, "Turning Me Loose" was produced by Chris Keup (Jason Mraz, Jonathan Rice) and was engineered by Stewart Myers (Lifehouse, Mandy Moore) and is a chill mix of thoughtful melodies that have an appeal that is difficult to deny.
