Local Face on My Space: Seth Powsner

I have my Friend’s Space set to randomize, which means that each time I, or someone else logs on, the list of my “Top 40″ friends is different.

I never liked having to rank my friends anyway. So when I was looking for a MySpace “contestant” this week, I started scrolling through my list and said to myself, “Wait, I know this kid! Let’s take a listen.”

This kid is Ira’s very own Seth Powsner. Now apparently hailing from Purchase, N.Y., Seth has some really great tracks on his space.

He’s got a pretty eclectic mix of tunes, listing his genre as “folk/blues/other.” He has a variety of instruments backing him up, and he’s even got a groovy hip-hop number, “It’s about time,” with some great lines that the younger generation will relate to. A live track, “Sorry Sally,” is another keeper.

There’s not a lot written on the space, but I thought it was really sweet that under the place to list his influences he writes “my brothers.” He also lists a “loui p” as a band member.
