Pat MacDonald

A few months back I was reading No Depression and read a small article on Pat MacDonald. MacDonald was a member of Timbuk 3 who had a hit in 1986 with "The Future's so Bright I Gotta Wear Shades". His songs have been preformed by the likes of Aerosmith and Cher. For the last decade he has been working as a solo artist. MacDonald lives and plays around Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin and is a champion of the local music scene in Door County Wisconsin.

His music is characterized by low end rumble, bluesy licks and a tempo that's stomped out by his booted left foot. I haven't been able to get a hold of any of his albms yet, but his myspace page and these Youtube video give you an idea.
