Josh Logan Rocks!

If you haven't watched the new reality show on ABC called Rockstar Supernova, shame on you! A local musician by the name of Josh Logan is competing in the show and has a good chance of making it. I have seen Josh grow up into the scene (literally) from the age of 15 when he first started coming to "jam nights" and rapping freestyle lyrics over some jazz/soul. He was always a pleasure to watch and play with. I hope he becomes a great success.

For a taste of his music go to: www.joshlogan.com also listen to his album at www.cdbaby.com/cd/jlnb
