Andrew Belle came in to the restaurant I work at. I'd never heard of him before. He seems like a John Mayer-Damien Rice hybrid. Not so pop as Mayer but not as dark as Rice can be. He was playing for a private dinner (this guy proposed in a private room with rose petals and candles everywhere). It was actually one of the most awesome dinners I've helped coordinate. The story amongst my friends is that I have a tendency to somewhat unintentionally "snub" relatively famous or accomplished people. While I didn't snub this guy, I had to confess to him that I didn't know him. He was impressively good and notably polite. When I got home I looked him up to find he has an international tour going on which now makes me feel stupid going "Hey, um, I've never heard you before but you're really good!" I was hoping he'd have a CD I could buy and that he'd sign but he didn't have any on him. I did give him my business card, for whatever that's worth.
