I started to play guitar so I could have an excuse to sing, but it is really beginning to help shape me as a musician. My only goals after college consist of playing guitar, and writing music. We’ll see what happens.

A young singer-songwriter from Greenwich caught my ear—and emotions—on MySpace the other night. Brittany Harrington, just 22, is a music student at SUNY Plattsburgh—and from her profile I gather that she’s a world traveler, too. She certainly knows her way around writing and performing superb songs.Her version of Ben Harper’s ballad Waiting On an Angel nearly brought tears to my eyes, and her smoky, pitch-perfect voice has to be heard to be believed. Harrington casts a spell that will keep you hitting the play button, and her recorded vocal performances display a maturity beyond her years. Other cover tunes on her site: Sublime’s Boss DJ, and John Lennon’s Imagine. Good stuff—and great choices.Harrington has her own sound and original material, too. There are nods to lo-fi acoustic-alternative masters Edwin McCain, Jack Johnson, and Johnny Cash dispersed throughout her songs. I’m definitely into it. So much for the theory that every musician needs to be a seasoned stage vet before releasing a killer set of material. She performed her first “real†gig recently and I have no doubt there will be many more.I’m waiting for a chance to grab the boys from my band and see what she’s up to on a stage somewhere. Check out Brittany Harrington and her fresh tracks from her new EP “Five Star Ethics†at http://www.myspace.com/britharrington
