A couple of weeks ago, I heard from singer/songwriter Jared Rehberg, who told me about the recent release of his second CD Somewhere in the Middle. I finally had the chance to listen to a few clips from the album, and it's good stuff.
Definitely recommended for anyone who leans towards some low-key James Tayor-esque folky pop. It's also clearly a very personal record for Jared, who notes that the Somewhere in the Middle reflects "the journey of a Vietnamese adoptee."
Jared sings with Heather Park on "Beautiful Life," a song dedicated to a friend who passed away in 1998. He tells me his favorite song is the title track, "Somewhere in the Middle," which he wrote for his parents.
It's worth a listen. To hear some sample clips, and to purchase Somewhere in the Middle, head over to CD Baby or iTunes
