Mike Shupp
October Sun
Private Mind 40001
$12.98

This is the debut album from Mike Shupp, a mainstay on the local music scene, having performed often solo as well as part of such groups as Bang Theory and Nickel.  Backed by fellow-locals Steve Kaye, Mike Marzullo and Joe Parsons, Shupp moves easily between power pop, balladry and straight-ahead rock, molding each genre to reflect his fortes: imagery and chord structures.  "Letter To Annette" and "Prove Me Wrong" stand out in particular as excellent examples of Shupp's songwriting abilities.  Check out this fine album and support local musicians.
