The Story: Intimate lyrics and powerful vocals accompanied by soft guitar and melodious strings define the sound of this young songwriter's first record, 'The Pregnant Letter.' With the help of TJ Callanta on violin and backing vocals, the 24-year-old's music has been catching the attention of many, including DeVotchka, who took the pair on a mini-tour as their opening act. Meanwhile, on YouTube, viewers have been raving about the "songs we didn't write but wished we did" -- covers of mellow tracks like the Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights,' Damien Rice's 'Volcano' and Ryan Adams' 'Two,' and even an acoustic reworking of Regina Spektor's 'On the Radio.'
