2010 - The role of the male singer-songwriter has changed from my
parents day. They had folks like BOB DYLAN setting the issues of the
day to music and at the same time prodvided a template for lyrical
depth that would benefit many a songwriter and singer to follow. Now,
the male singer-songwriter takes the more marketable JOHN MAYER
approach, complete with cloying lyrics that analyze love and life like
they have been analyzed a million times before. And that phlegmy
delivery just seems to do something for the ladies! Here is where San
Francisco-based singer-songwriter PAUL MANOUSOS kicks down the door
and lets in that breath fo fresh air that
singer-songwriterdom has been lacking for a while - grit and substance.
For his fifth album 'C'MON C'MON' MANOUSOS says that he is relishing in
his role as a singer songwriter more than ever. This is obvious on the
albums tracks GETTIN' BETTER and OUTSIDE OF TOWN, but MANOUSOS can't
help but wear his love of good ol' American songcraft on his
sleeve with his haunting rendition of the GLENN CAMPBELL classic

ABOUT THE HOST: BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn’t
looked back
since.
From January 2005 to March 2009, LUSH was the host of the weekly
internet radio
show ROCKWIRED LIVE. He produced the program for the AMERICAN RADIO
NETWORK. As
the editor-in-chief for ROCKWiRED MAGAZiNE, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED’s
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE (but to a significantly lesser
degree).
“Those were the days before the internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable.” says LUSH “But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I’d be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I’m the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions.”
