In keeping with the singer songwriter theme for this week, I'm posting about an artist which I've compared to the previous two posts. Greg Laswell is a singer/songwriter from San Diego, Ca. His songs are very catchy and accessible, and have been featured in all your favorite TV Shows. His songs typically feature piano, acoustic guitar and ultra-hooky choruses. Learn more about his successful licensing career and failed celebrity relationship here.
