Chris Bathgate - Serpentine (Official Promo Video)

Some of you may know Chris Bathgate. He's a singer/songwriter from Ann Arbor who I saw play at the Lager House two years ago. Rich, mildly sorrowful tone to his voice. It brings me comfort now that I'm far from home. Michigan artists have found a new and safe place in my heart.

I thought of him the other day while driving to Baltimore.

I was surprised to see a couple songs available for a free download at Starbucks (yuck, roadtrip = no options). I dislike that shitty establishment with their piss poor coffee, but I can get behind supporting a local musician like Bathgate. Here's a promo video from his first album, A Cork Tale Wake.
